Windows/macOS: Is there a discounted upgrade for Ver. 1 or Ver. 2.0 to Ver. 4.0?
Discounted version upgrades only upgrade to the next major version. First get the discounted upgrade from Ver. 1 to Ver. 2.0, then Ver. 2.0 to Ver. 3.0, and then upgrade from Ver. 3.0 to Ver. 4.0.
We recommend that perpetual license users buy the Update Pass (annual) to access the latest versions at a lower price.
It is not possible to skip versions for discounted version upgrades (perpetual version), such as from Ver. 1 to Ver. 4.0.
Using the Update Pass
The Update Pass allows one-time purchase perpetual license users access to the latest version without the need for a new version perpetual license and at a fraction of the price.
You need to have a Clip Studio Paint one-time purchase perpetual license active with your account and then select Use the latest features from Clip Studio.
See the following page for more details about the Update Pass.
