Upgrades are major releases that include significant new functionality. These releases are indicated by a "large" version number change. For example, Komodo Professional Edition 3.0 to Komodo IDE 4.0 is an upgrade.
Does my current license include upgrades and updates?

Which licenses include upgrades?
Updates and upgrades are included with ActivePerl Pro Studio and ActiveTcl Pro Studio subscriptions.
Updates are included with all other licensed software: Komodo IDE, PDK Pro Pack, and Tcl Dev Kit. However, major upgrades for these products are sold separately.

When you purchase an ActiveState license, we provide you with installers for all supported platforms, so you only need one license.

You can install the same product on multiple platforms as long as you are the sole user of the software.

ActiveState offers two types of software:

Language distributions
ActivePerl
ActivePython
ActiveTcl

Development tools
Komodo IDE
Komodo Edit
Perl Dev Kit
Tcl Dev Kit
ActivePerl Pro Studio
ActiveTcl Pro Studio

All language distributions and Komodo Edit are available for free download, or on DVD. They do not require a license for internal or personal commercial or non-commercial use.

* OEM redistribution licensing is available for external commercial and non-commercial distribution.
* Enterprise Edition licensing is available for organizations that require guaranteed support and stability for their language installations.

All development tools except for Komodo Edit require you to register for and install a license to activate the software. 21-day trial licenses are available for all products.
