Made for Makers, from Hobbyist to Business

We offer two license types — Core and Pro. The version you need depends on the type of laser you're using, and the precise demands of your workflow.

Core supports GCode-based lasers, and provides access to almost all of LightBurn's design, editing, and layout tools.

Pro supports DSP, Galvo, and GCode-based lasers, and provides access to every design tool in Core, and more.

Own it Forever

Affordable Updates

Easy Upgrades

All LightBurn licenses are perpetual, and come with a year of free updates, starting on the day you first activate. After a year, you can continue using your current version forever, or renew to add another year of updates to your license.

The price to renew LightBurn is the same whether you're a Core or a Pro user — $40 USD for one year of updates.

If you start with Core, you can upgrade your existing license to Pro down the road for $100 USD.

Every license comes with 3 seats, meaning you can activate LightBurn on up to 3 computers at one time. You can rearrange your activations at any time, or purchase additional seats to activate on more than 3 computers at once.
