Capture One Announces New Release Cycle Share This on LinkedIn   Tweet This   Forward This

6 December 2022

In an email today to users of its image editing software, Capture One announced it is now "able release features to you as soon as they are ready" and will no longer be restricted to "one 'major' version of Capture One Pro at the end of each year."

Dropping annual releases, the email noted, means "there will not be a Capture One 24." Instead of annual updates, the company will release "new tools and features on a rolling basis throughout the year." Your license will include updates with bug fixes until the next version.

Nor will there by upgrade pricing, which will be replaced by "a new loyalty scheme" whose details will be announced in February 2023.

The company noted:

If you do want to get our latest version, Capture One Pro 23, our upgrade pricing is open to you until Jan. 31, 2023. By purchasing before this date you will receive all updates including new features until Sept. 30, 2023. You can access this by logging into your account on our Web site.

The company has detailed its new approach on its Web site. For more information see the text of the email below.

Upcoming Changes to Our Perpetual License

Over the past few years many of you have told us you want access to new tools and improvements sooner, rather than have them all in one 'major' version of Capture One Pro at the end of each year. That's why we've been investing heavily in our technology to be able release features to you as soon as they are ready. Now we're ready to fully embrace this approach.

From 2023 we will no longer be tied to an annual cycle for major releases. As a result, there will not be a Capture One 24. Instead, we will continuously release new tools and features on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Alongside this, we will also be making changes to our perpetual licenses from Feb. 1, 2023. Here's what's changing:

  1. New perpetual licenses will include updates with bug fixes until the next version, but new features released after purchase will not be included.
  2. Upgrade pricing will no longer be available and will be replaced with a new loyalty scheme. More details will be announced on Feb. 1, 2023.

Here's how it affects you:

Happy with your current version of Capture One Pro? Great, there's nothing you need to do.

If you do want to get our latest version, Capture One Pro 23, our upgrade pricing is open to you until Jan. 31, 2023. By purchasing before this date you will receive all updates including new features until Sept. 30, 2023. You can access this by logging into your account on our Web site.

You can find more details of the changes and how it affects you on this page.

Thank you as always for being part of the Capture One community. We're excited to share our new products and features with you over the coming months and hope you'll enjoy using them as much as we have creating them!
