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.

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

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.
