Perpetual Licensing. Pay Once, Own Forever.
TypePOT rejects the industry trend of forced monthly subscriptions and empty lifetime promises. We believe in honest, predictable software economics: you pay once for a major version, it remains yours forever, and every update within that generation is free.
Built on Clear Principles
Software should be an asset for your creative studio, not an endless monthly liability.
Pay Once, Keep Forever
When you purchase TypePOT Pro v1.x, your license never expires. Whether you use it tomorrow, next year, or in a decade, your installed version remains fully operational.
Continuous v1.x Updates Included
Every point release across the entire v1 lifecycle (v1.1, v1.2, up to v1.99) is free. This includes host connector patches for new Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Affinity versions.
Optional Major Version Upgrades
When TypePOT v2.0 releases years down the line, upgrading is completely optional. Existing v1 license holders receive a 50% loyalty discount. If you decline, your v1 software continues working without interruption.

Why No "Lifetime All-Versions" Tier?
Many tools promise "Lifetime All-Versions" licenses for a tiny fee. In reality, maintaining professional creative software requires annual R&D: Adobe and Affinity release major application updates every year with breaking API changes, while Windows introduces new DirectWrite subsystems.
A company that sells lifetime updates for $30 eventually faces an economic trap: either they abandon the software when sales slow down, or they covertly pivot to subscriptions. By adopting the Perpetual Major Version model, we ensure sustainable development, rock-solid stability, and dependable updates for years to come.
