Major update increments are regularly released for Studio One Pro (X.1, X.2, X.5, X.6, etc.). These major update releases are commonly referred to as "point" releases and add new features and significant enhancements to Studio One Pro. "Point-point" or "sub-point" minor maintenance updates (ex. X.1.1, X.1.2, X.1.3, etc.) are smaller updates made in between major point releases to address bug fixes and other software maintenance needs within the current major point release.

You can keep your free, non-updating perpetual license up to date by renewing your Studio One+ Hybrid plan, or you can purchase a standalone Pro perpetual license upgrade (Pro-to-Pro) at any time. Both purchase options are available for users on non-updating Pro licenses and provide perpetual license ownership of the latest version of Studio One Pro.
