Licensing, updates & renewals
What a one-time purchase gets you forever, how the 12-month updates window works, and what renewing costs.
Your license is perpetual
A one-time purchase is a perpetual license: the software keeps working forever, verified offline with an Ed25519 signature, no phone-home, no server we can take down or you can lose access to. The license is valid for the major version you purchased.
The updates window
Every purchase includes a 12-month updates window starting at purchase. During the window, pull any version published to the registry within that window, bug fixes, new modules, minor releases, all of it.
Expiry is never punitive. When the window closes, nothing is revoked: every version you already pulled keeps installing forever, and so does anything that was published inside your window, even if you pull it after the window closes. An expired window just stops new releases from counting, it does not touch what you already have.
Renewing updates
Renewing buys another 12-month updates window. Renewal price is a flat 40% of the then-current list price, rounded to X9 pricing.

Windows are per-entitlement
An updates window belongs to the entitlement it was purchased with, not to your account as a whole, a bundle purchase and an à-la-carte module purchase each carry their own window. If you own the same module both à la carte and through a bundle, the more favorable of the two windows applies.
Subscriptions work differently
If you're on a subscription rather than a one-time purchase, updates are included the whole time the subscription is active, there's no window to track and nothing to renew separately.
