FAQs
If you purchase a license, you may run the software for an unlimited period of time. You only get updates for one year though. After this period of one year, you may still run the software, but won't be able to get new updates until you renew your license.
You don't have to renew the license every year though, you may chose to renew your license at the time of your choice (even long after the 1 year threshold) and you will always benefit of the low license renewal price (50%). We don't want to milk users every year. It's up to us to convince you that Malcat's improvements are worth it.
