License Types

Last updated 2 months ago

We offer four license types:

  • Perpetual

  • Project

  • Rolling

  • Server

Perpetual Licenses

By far the most common license, all our apps are available as perpetual licenses. Every perpetual license includes 12 months of updates and support. After a year, the license can be extended to receive more updates and support. is not compulsory.

Perpetual licenses can be either Pro or Standard, with no difference in license terms; only in features.

Project Licenses

For those who need licenses for a fixed amount of time or need to give a freelancer a license without sharing a perpetual license key, project licenses are available. Off-the-shelf project licenses expire 30 days after being used for the first time, and custom project licenses expire when the upfront agreed-upon lifespan has ended.

As a rule of thumb, a project license makes sense if you need to use an app for less than six months (regular license) or nine months (Pro license). For longer-running projects, a perpetual license is more economical.

Project licenses are available for all apps and can be used on both macOS and Windows, but only on one machine at a time; they always have one activation.

Project licenses are always Pro licenses; they come with all features enabled. We do not offer non-Pro project licenses.

Moving a project license from one computer to another during its lifespan can be done by deactivating in-app or in the online to reuse it on another computer.

For volume purchases or custom lifespans, .

Rolling Licenses

A rolling license is for clients that do not wish to purchase a perpetual license but instead prefer to rent a license on a continuing or rolling basis. A rolling license is charged per month or year and automatically renews — just like a subscription.

It's possible to change the number of activations on the license at any time; increasing the quantity results in partial billing for the remainder of the month, while a decrease in activations results in a credit for the next billing cycle.

Server Licenses

Converting and Extending

are a special type of Project License, and only available as a Yearly License.

We have server licenses available for facilities with air-gapped systems. A server license is used in conjunction with our , which acts as a proxy for activating and deactivating on-premise computers. A Server License is essentially a perpetual Pro license that is manually enabled for server usage by our team. Server Licenses are required to always be within updates & support.

for details.

A perpetual license can be converted into a server license at any time, provided it's a Pro license. If not, upgrade your license to a Pro license in the , then reach out.

Perpetual and server licenses can be extended in the , and project licenses can be converted to perpetual licenses there, too.
