Hi,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Final Builder Professional Edition license cost is $499. Is&nbsp;this license price&nbsp;for a year or is it just a one time pay and use for any number of years. If its a&nbsp;one year license fee, what is the pricing amount of the next subsequent years.

Regards

Hiten Parmar

FinalBuilder licenses do not expire.   
  
 Software assurance (which is optional) costs and additional 20% of the license, and this lasts for 1 year, with the renewal cost being the same 20% of the full license cost. Software assurance provides you with any new major versions if they are released while you have a current sa subscription. Contrast that to upgrade costs which are typically 40-50%.
