New Maintenance Agreement

Every Dragonframe license is perpetual. You are always allowed to use the version of the software that you purchased.

Starting in 2024, we changed the way we are versioning the software and issuing license keys (serial numbers).

Now, whenever you buy a license, you get three years of updates and support. This means that you will be allowed to install any of the updates we release within three years of your purchase. You are also entitled to software support during this time. This three year window of updates and support is the ‘maintenance period’.

When the maintenance period ends, you may continue to use any version of the software that was released before the maintenance period ended.

If you have a Dragonframe account, the license page will show you which version is the latest you can install.
