We purchased an open license. We own the license. You can buy a license once and use it for a long time. If you do not want to upgrade or you don't need to upgrade the license, you can keep it for a long time.

There is a licensing cost, as far as I know, but I'm not sure how much it costs. If you buy the Microsoft suite, you get this product as well. So if you are already installing the suite, you get all these tools together.
