Theme FAQ
No, our theme licences are NOT subscription-based. They’re perpetual to the specific Moodle theme version.
For example, if you bought a theme license for Moodle 5.0, your license is valid for Moodle version 5.0 forever. You can use the theme on a Moodle 5.0 site as long as you like. You will also get free theme updates (incl. bug fixes and improvements) and support for Moodle 5.0.
If you’d like to upgrade your Moodle site from version 5.0 to a higher version in the future (eg. Moodle 5.1/5.2/5.3) you will have the option to upgrade your current theme license. A small license upgrade fee will apply so you don’t need to pay for the full license price for a higher version again.
Upgrading is completely optional and you can choose when to upgrade. Our flexible pricing model allows your organisation to “Pay As You Need“. Most of our customers upgrade their Moodle sites and themes every 1-3 years.
