Lifetime Access

Whether you choose an annual or a monthly subscription plan for Beekeeper Studio, you’re eligible for a lifetime usage license. This means you gain perpetual access to any version of Beekeeper Studio released within your subscription period, allowing you to use the software indefinitely without any additional payments.

Annual subscribers get lifetime access right away

Suppose you start an annual subscription on March 10, 2021. You’ll receive a lifetime license for any version of Beekeeper Studio released until March 10, 2022. Even if your subscription ends, you can continue using any of these versions forever.

Monthly subscribers get lifetime access after 12 months

If you opt for a monthly subscription and complete 12 consecutive months, the same benefit applies. For example, if you begin your monthly subscription on March 10, 2021, and maintain it through February 2022, you’ll have lifetime access to versions released during this period.
