Frequently Asked Questions

Can I try before I buy?

Absolutely! Our Free plan lets you explore DMXDesktop's core features at no cost. When you're ready for more power, upgrading is just a click away.

Is Pro really unlimited universes?

Yes. The Pro plan has no fixed universe limit. We cap output at 1024 universes to keep DMXDesktop's memory footprint small and efficient on your machine, which is already far beyond what even the most expensive lighting consoles can drive, and in practice no show ever comes close. If you are the rare exception and genuinely need more, just reach out and we will happily raise the limit for you.

What's the difference between subscription and lifetime?

Subscriptions give you access to all updates and features for as long as you're subscribed. Version Lifetime licenses are a one-time purchase that covers all updates within the current major version (e.g., v1.x).

What does 'Version Lifetime License' mean exactly?

A Version Lifetime License grants you perpetual access to the current major version of DMXDesktop (e.g., all v1.x releases). When a new major version is released (e.g., v2.0), a separate license may be required. This is clearly outlined in our Terms & Conditions. We believe in transparency-no hidden surprises.

Can I change my plan?

Yes! To switch plans, simply cancel your current subscription and purchase a new one when it expires. For example, if you have a monthly plan and want lifetime, cancel your subscription and it will remain active until the end of your billing period. Once it expires, you can purchase your new plan.

Do you offer refunds?

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans. If you're not satisfied, contact us for a full refund.

What payment methods do you accept?

We use Stripe to process payments securely. Available payment methods (credit/debit cards, PayPal, Klarna, and others) vary depending on your location. Check the checkout page in the DMXDesktop app to see the options available in your region.
