# Licensing

If you purchased ScopeBox via our web store, you can[ look up your key using the divergent media website](https://divergent-licensing.hedge.video/keylookup). You can re-download your software at any time from the [Releases](/scopebox/releases.md) section of our documentation. 

### Registering

When you first launch ScopeBox, it will run as "unregistered". To enable the full feature set of ScopeBox, you must enter a serial number in the Registration dialog. You can also request a trial license from within the application, which will allow you to try all of the features of ScopeBox before buying.

If you've already purchased ScopeBox, click the "Enter Key" button and enter your name and key exactly as it is shown in your registration information.

### Updating

ScopeBox automatically checks for updates during startup. If you'd like to force it to check for an update, select "Check for Updates" from the ScopeBox menu. You must have an active subscription or a perpetual license to get updates. If your subscription has lapsed, you may continue running the latest version covered by your subscription.

You can disable automatic updates via the "General" tab of the preferences dialog.

ScopeBox can only check for updates if you are currently connected to the internet. If your ScopeBox system is not connected, you can always download an updated copy from the [Releases page](/scopebox/releases.md).

### Expired Licenses

With the exception of perpetual licenses, the license you purchase includes one year of free updates. 1 year from the date of purchase you will be charged a renewal fee, unless you cancel your subscription. If your subcription has been cancelled and your latest license term has expired, you will retain the use of ScopeBox; however, you will not recieve subsequent updates. If there are updates available, but your license has expired, ScopeBox will show an alert but will prevent you from updating. To use the update, you will have to renew your license. [Contact us](mailto:hello@hedge.video) for details.
