We offer solely yearly subscriptions.

Can I purchase IDA with a perpetual license?

Perpetual licenses are no longer offered as from September 30, 2024 as Hex-Rays adopts a subscription-based licensing model.

Any perpetual licenses bought before September 30, 2024 will remain valid and continue working according to their licensing terms. This means that you can continue to use indefinitely the specific IDA Pro version that you purchased before that date.

Please bear in mind that updates and support for previous versions will be discontinued after one year of the activation date.
