The main benefit is that you can use the software for life and you’re entitled to free upgrades for a year even when a next major version is released in the future. Every purchase of a one-seat license comes with one year of free updates. You can easily check the end date of your free update period by opening Peakto. During this period, you’ll receive all updates, including major (v2), minor (v2.x), and patch (v2.1.x) releases. After the year ends, you can continue using the last minor version available within your update window (e.g., v2.5). However, versions released after this period (e.g., v2.6) won’t be accessible for free. We occasionally release patches (e.g., v2.5.1) even after your free update period has ended, and these will still be available to you at no cost. If you wish to restart your free update period, simply purchase the update to gain access to the latest version and all upcoming updates for another year.
