Updates, support, renewal, and platform
Terms and requirements.
Are updates included during the license term?
Yes. Updates released during your license term are included for the tier you hold.
What support is included?
Email support is included with paid tiers. The exact response scope is confirmed by the applicable license and support terms.
How does renewal work?
Licenses are annual unless a package states otherwise. Renewal terms are shown in checkout or confirmed in the applicable license materials.
What are the platform requirements?

Does the software need an internet connection?
The core engineering workflow runs locally and does not require an always-on connection. License activation and validation may use the licensing provider. See Security & local data.
Where terms are confirmed
Pricing may change. Seat/organization scope, support scope, renewal terms, and licensing details are governed by checkout terms and the applicable license agreement. For licensing questions, contact sales@rocketpropulsionlab.net.
