Unlike traditional recurring subscription models, NovelNix is sold on a version-specific baseline.

- Major Version When a new major version of the software is released (e.g., Version 2.0), it is considered a separate product offering. Access to new major versions is not included in your original purchase.
- Upgrade Pricing: Existing customers will be given the option to purchase an upgrade to the new major version at a discounted or promotional upgrade price, at our sole discretion.
