With the launch of Rebelle 8, we’re excited to unveil a new and more flexible approach to licensing: the 1-Year Free Updates. We believe it is a better, fairer way to keep Rebelle growing with you while keeping you informed about what's next.
In the past, we typically released a major new version once a year, offering existing users a 50% upgrade discount. While that model worked for a time, it came with a few challenges, both for us and for you, our users:
- First, we often had to delay releasing exciting new features, saving them up for the next big version instead of sharing them when they were ready.
- Second, many potential new users felt uncertain about when the right time to buy was, fearing a major update might be just around the corner.
This led us to rethink how we deliver value, and with that, we’re happy to introduce what we believe is a more transparent and user-friendly system.
What are '1-Year Free Updates'?
Starting from Rebelle 8, with 1-Year Free Updates you’ll receive all new features, improvements, and fixes for a full 12 months from the day you purchase your Rebelle license. And here’s the best part: your license is still perpetual. That means:
- You own Rebelle forever, no subscriptions.
- You can continue using the version you own even after your update period ends.
- You can renew your update access at any time to get another year of updates.
Why This Is a Win for Artists?
With this new model, we’re no longer tied to once-a-year upgrade cycles. No more waiting for major versions. We believe this creates a more transparent, fair, and dynamic way for us to keep delivering the tools you love, right when they're ready.
We can release new features the moment they’re developed and tested, giving you faster access to the tools you need. No more guessing, just continuous innovation and improvements that flow directly to your canvas.
Moreover, we can give exciting sneak peeks of what’s coming way before the release. This means we do not have to keep secrets from you, and you will see into our "development kitchen" with total transparency.
What Are the Benefits of '1-Year Free Updates'?
✅ You will get the latest features without delay
✅ You will know exactly what you're getting when you purchase
✅ You will stay current with ongoing enhancements
✅ You can enjoy a more transparent, fair upgrade path
✅ Your license is still perpetual
✅ No subscriptions! Your license is yours to keep
Even though Rebelle 8 comes with more than 40 new features and improvements, we’ve already got more - a packed roadmap filled with creative and long-awaited tools. With the new licensing model, we’re freer to release them as soon as they’re ready. This makes Rebelle more responsive to your needs.
'The 1-Year FREE updates' model is about keeping your tools fresh, relevant, and future-ready, without compromising ownership. We believe it’s a more flexible, fair, and dynamic way to grow with you, our amazing community of artists. We’re excited for what this change enables and deeply grateful for your continued support.
