Run the installer and input your official LightBurn license key to unlock the full feature set.
LightBurn operates under a perpetual license model. When you purchase LightBurn, you receive a license key that unlocks the full version of the software and includes one year of free updates. This is not a subscription. If your one-year update period expires, you do not lose access to the software. You can continue to use whatever version of LightBurn you have installed at the time of expiration "until the end of time," though you will not receive new features or bug fixes released after that date. If you wish to continue receiving updates, you can add a year of updates to your license for a fee. As of May 4, 2026, that renewal price is $40 USD, an increase from the previous $30 USD.
