Thank you Adam,

Can you please clarify the licensing terms. I could not find anything on the website other than the software being labeled "Annual LightUp Analytics".

Does it mean that 12 months after payment the plugin will:

1. continue to be functional except I won't be eligible for updates?
   OR
2. stop working completely until I pay for another year?

I wish I had these analytics at university. We manually made models of annual sunlight/insolation in CAD and it was sooooo time consuming and unnecessary. LightUp provides a much more visual approach by the looks of things. Great stuff.

LightUp Analytics Ltd. confirmed that the correct answer is (B).
The current Annual License Fee to use the software is £350.00.

As of right now, this is the only purchase option available.
I understand that this pricing model may work for some users. It definitely does not work for me.

Update:
LightUp has recently updated its pricing model to include a Perpetual License option.
