Upgrade Questions

Greetings,
So I have a license for the Core Version, it expires in 30 days and I fully intend to renew it. However - I just purchased a Commarker B6 that is a Galvo - this obviously needs the pro version.
If I upgrade my version now $100, Will I have to renew the full Pro version ($199) at the end of January again for a total of $299? Or will I be better of buying a new license right now for $199?
Thanks.
Andrew

You are going to buy the Pro upgrade, so go ahead and go in, and start clicking buttons. I expect the Pro will be an upgrade to your GRBL license renewal, but I do not know how much more $$.

No matter what, it will be good for a year before a renewal is needed.

Congratulations on the new toy. Be sure to update your profile when you get it.

If Iā€™m not mistaken the upgrade to pro does not extend the license. You will also need to do the renew. The renew currently is $30 so upgrade for $100 and renew for $30 before 2025.

EDIT: I just looked at the upgrade to pro. It states it does not extend for another year.

Once you buy the software, you own it forever. There is never a need to re-buy the entire license. You can purchase a year of updates for your license if you wish for the cost of $30 currently. Adding the upgrade for Pro to your existing Core license does not extend your updates, it simply adds the Pro capabilities to your existing license.

The following links will explain everything.

You can add a year of updates to your current license here:

Thank you everybody for your help - I Knew the license was forever, but having the updates are definitely a good thing. I missed (when I first looked) how the renew worked - I thought you had to buy a new license each year to get the updates - so QED $130 later gotr the upgrade to pro, and the renewal.

Thanks again
