What lifetime means
A lifetime Pro licence is a one-time payment for the evolving Pro feature set and software updates on the entitled machine count.
Lifetime Pro does not include PortPilot Cloud (sync, notifications, or account backups). Cloud stays a separate subscription.
Machine capacity is the purchased tier (1, 3, 5, or 10). Seats do not stack — active licences use the maximum, not the sum.
While a lifetime Pro licence is active, Cloud is £5/month off (£60/year on the yearly plan).
Upgrading to a larger Pro tier is 10% off that tier’s list price. Purchase rows are kept; capacity becomes the max.
Licences cannot be transferred between people or accounts.
A full refund or a lost payment dispute revokes the licence immediately and commercially blacklists the account. A partial refund keeps the licence.
Lifetime covers updates to the Pro feature set. New paid products (including Cloud) remain separate.
Full commercial rules: licensing docs and Terms.
