A one-time purchase license allows you to use Clip Studio Paint unlimited just by paying once.

Note: This type of license is only supported on Windows and macOS operating systems.

Are updates free of charge?

Yes. The perpetual version will still get free stability patches when necessary to address major bugs in the app.

If you wish to use the new features in Version 2.0, you will need to purchase an Update Pass or a perpetual version upgrade.

If I change my device, will I still be able to use my one-time purchase license without limits?

We currently recommend the following system requirements for using Clip Studio Paint.

The app is designed to work even if the above operating environment changes in the future, such as Windows/macOS updates. If Clip Studio Paint performance decreases due to an operating system update or a technical issue, a free stability update will be implemented.

Free stability updates will cover both the current and previous versions. For example, if a free stability update is released during Ver. 2.0, it will fix bugs in both Ver. 2.0 and Ver. 1.
