Kubla Cubed 2023

If we purchased the current base file of Kubla today, will this be updated to KC2024 or is it going to be a separate package to purchase?

Hi David,

Interesting question. The answer is, it depends...

Subscriptions will always grant you access to the latest version of the software, without additional expense, for the duration of your license. This is true whether the latest version is a minor upgrade to the existing product, or a completely new (major) version of the software.

So, if you purchased a subscription today for Cubed 2021 (v6.3) then you would get the next major release, in this case Cubed 2024 (v7.0) upgrade (without additional cost) until the expiration of your subscription.

Perpetuals will grant you access to the latest version of the current major version, forever.

So, if you purchased a perpetual today for Cubed 2021 (v6.3) then you get get no further updates as there will be no more updates to Cubed 2021 after v6.3. If you wanted Cubed 2024, you would need to purchase* that upgrade.
*Historically, we have offered a discount to existing customers choosing to trade in their old perpetual. We plan to continue this approach. If you have a perpetual license and are subscribed to our newsletters, then an offer would normally be sent to you via email, after release.

The 2024 Lite Edition will be released at the same time as Cubed 2024 Professional, so you might download that product first to see if you need the additional features. Cubed 2024 and Cubed 2021 can be installed at the same time. Newer versions of the software can read projects created in an older version, but not vice versa.

Cheers,
Rich
