Is this a one-time fee?

Snagit & Camtasia Perpetual Licenses

One-time fee with annually renewing Maintenance.

While the initial purchase is a one-time fee, you must have an active Maintenance agreement to continue receiving the benefits of Maintenance, including access to minor updates/bug fixes for the products.

Active Maintenance provides access to:

  • The latest new releases and features, guaranteed! We continually release software updates!
  • Premium technical support, including live phone and chat, plus expedited response times on email and online tickets (phone support U.S. only).
  • Certification training to develop skills, including 20+ exclusive how-to videos each for Snagit and Camtasia.

Additionally, Maintenance benefits also include volume discounts, extended version support, and one software key that lets you easily package, deploy, and manage all your 5+ licenses.

Customers who opt to renew Maintenance annually will continue to receive all the benefits that a current/active agreement offers– a great value compared with the cost of an upgrade or a new license.
