About Visual Micro Licensing

We offer two main Licensing models for Visual Micro, the Simple Perpetual Model, and the Annual Model.

Perpetual Licenses

Perpetual Licenses allow for usage forever, in your chosen IDE version.

Support can be purchased to continue receiving maintenance updates, forum support and licensing assistance.

Commercial licenses can be upgraded to a later Visual Studio version by contacting us within the support period. For example, a commercial VS 2019 license can be upgraded to a VS2022 license. 

Annual Licenses

Annual Licenses last 12 months from the purchase date and include all maintenance updates, forum support and licensing assistance. Licences can be converted to a later IDE version, by emailing us your license key and requesting the update.

Please deactivate your old license before contacting us from "vMicro" > "General" > "Deactivate License".

Frequently Asked Questions

I Purchased a Hobby License, Can I Upgrade to VS2022?

Licenses are purchased for a specific version of Visual Studio (e.g. VS2019).  Licenses cannot be converted except immediately after purchase if the incorrect version was purchased.

Support for licenses should be purchased after the initial support that comes with the license has expired, however having support does not entitle you to an upgrade to a later Visual Studio version.

If this sounds like you, and wish to upgrade to a later version of Visual Studio, a new license will need to be purchased from the Shop Page.

I Purchased a Perpetual Commercial License, Can I Upgrade to VS2022?

If your purchase was within the last 3 Years please contact us to get your license upgraded.
