How the License Works

A LightBurn license is a digital key used to unlock the software for permanent use.

Every new license comes with a year of free updates from the date you first activate it. After a year, you'll still be able to use any versionof LightBurn released before your license expired, but you'll need to renewyour key in order to continue receiving updates for another year. If you renew before your key expires, you'll receive an additional two months on your one-year renewal.

A LightBurn license automatically comes with 3 seats, meaning you can activate it on three computers at one time. You can use Lightburn License Portalto view and remove activations on your key, freeing up activations in use on old or inoperable computers so you can activate on new ones.
