Own it, forever
Spectralite is yours once you buy it. Every license above Free includes 12 months of updates, and the version you own keeps every feature and every universe for as long as you want to use it. Renewals extend access to future builds. When a new feature lands that you want, pay for another year and install it.
You buy a license
Install Spectralite and activate online once. Your license unlocks the universes in your tier and includes 12 months of updates. After activation, the app runs fully offline.
A full year of updates
Your software stays yours. Every show file you built keeps playing back exactly as it did on day one, while your tier's universes keep outputting DMX whenever the app is open. A renewal unlocks the next 12 months of updates whenever a future build adds something you want.
Renew when a new feature is worth it
When a new version ships, install it any time your update window is active. The version you already own always keeps running. Renew whenever a new feature is worth it to you. The price is always the same, today or five years from now.
Every tier, every feature
We do not gate features. Universes are the only thing that scales with your tier. Everything else is available to every user, including Free.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a subscription?
- No. Every tier above Free is a one-time purchase and the license is yours forever. The optional annual renewal extends access to new builds for another 12 months. The version you own keeps every feature and every function for as long as you want to use it.
- What's included after the first 12 months?
- Everything you already have stays yours. Your show files keep playing back exactly as they did the day you installed, while your tier's universes keep outputting DMX whenever the app is open. When you want to install a newer build, pay the flat renewal price for another 12 months of updates. The cost is the same whether you renew right away or five years later.
- What if my rig has more universes than my tier?
- Universes within your tier output continuously, forever. Any over-tier universes also output, with a brief blank every 5 minutes on those universes only. The app flags it at patch time, not at show time, so you see it coming during programming.
- Can I move my license between computers?
- Yes. A license is active on one device at a time, and you can move it between computers at any time through your account dashboard. No dongle required.
- Can I use Spectralite offline?
- Yes. Activation is a one-time online handshake. After that, Spectralite runs fully offline, and your license stays valid for as long as you keep using the installed build.
- Can I upgrade from Studio to Pro later?
- Yes. Upgrading pays only the price difference between your current tier and the new one, and your remaining update window carries over.
