Lifetime Licenses
A lifetime license is a one-time purchase that grants you access for the life of the product, with no renewal charges and no expiration date. This page explains how they’re different from subscriptions, what’s covered, and the limited circumstances under which a lifetime license can be revoked.

♾️ No renewals, no recurring charges
A single one-time payment. There is no billing cycle and no expiration date.
🚫 Not affected by the grace period
Lifetime licenses do not have renewal payments, so they cannot enter the 72-hour grace window.
🔓 Independent of payment-method status
You can remove all linked payment methods and your lifetime license remains active.
⚠️ Revocable only in limited cases
Fraud, chargebacks, or full refund of the original purchase can terminate a lifetime license. See below.
Lifetime vs. subscription
| Aspect | Lifetime license | Subscription |
|---|---|---|
Payment | One-time, at purchase | Recurring on a billing cycle |
Expiration | No expiration | Active until cancelled or grace expires |
Renewals | None | Automatic by default; manual with PayPal Manual Payment Mode |
Grace period | Not applicable | 72 hours after a failed renewal |
Cancellable by user | No (the purchase is final) | Yes, any time |
Reversible | Only via dispute, chargeback, or refund-of-original (see below) | Cancellation reversible until paid period ends |
Best for | Long-term users who prefer a single payment | Users who want flexibility to start and stop |
What “lifetime” means
“Lifetime” in QuickBox Pro means the life of the product, not the calendar lifetime of the buyer. As long as QuickBox Pro continues to be developed and operated, your lifetime license remains active. There is no internal countdown, no auto-cancellation timer, and no renewal step.
Practically:
- You can remove every payment method from your account and the lifetime license stays active.
- You can let the rest of your account go inactive (cancel any subscriptions) and the lifetime license is unaffected.
- You can transfer between QuickBox Pro servers within the activation limits of your license tier — the license itself doesn’t change.
Lifetime applies to the QuickBox Pro license, not the underlying software
A lifetime license entitles you to use QuickBox Pro for as long as the platform exists. Application versions, supported integrations, and individual app updates evolve over time — your lifetime license keeps pace with the platform’s evolution.
When a lifetime license can be terminated
Lifetime licenses are not entirely indestructible. There are three narrow circumstances where one can be revoked:
1. Fraud or chargeback on the original purchase
If the original purchase is reversed by a chargeback (for example, the cardholder disputes the charge with their bank and the dispute is resolved against QuickBox Pro), the lifetime license is terminated. This is unavoidable — the purchase that funded the license has been reversed.
2. Full refund of the original purchase
QuickBox Pro maintains a strict no-refund policy, so this circumstance is rare. In the very limited cases where a full refund is issued (for example, by a court order or formal dispute resolution), the lifetime license is terminated alongside the refund.
3. Terms-of-Service violations
If your account is suspended or terminated for violating the Terms of Service — abusive behavior, attempts to evade restrictions, sharing the license outside the activation limit, etc. — the lifetime license can be revoked. This is the same standard that applies to subscription accounts.
Outside these three cases, lifetime licenses do not expire or terminate
Normal account inactivity, removal of payment methods, lapsed subscriptions on the same account, or non-use of the license do not affect a lifetime license. It stays active.
Buying a lifetime license
Lifetime licenses are available at the pricing page when offered. They are billed as a single one-time payment through Stripe or PayPal — the same gateway-choice mechanics apply at checkout. Because there is no renewal, the lifetime license does not stay tied to a specific gateway after the initial payment clears.
After the purchase confirms, the lifetime license appears in Licenses immediately, ready to activate.
Stacking with subscriptions
You can hold lifetime licenses and subscription licenses on the same account simultaneously. They don’t conflict and they don’t replace each other — each license has its own independent activation pool and access.
If you upgrade from a subscription to a lifetime license, you’ll typically buy the lifetime license fresh and let your active subscription continue (or cancel) on its own schedule. The two licenses are separate and your access does not gap.
Frequently asked
Do
- Buy a lifetime license if you want a single payment with no recurring billing.
- Keep your QuickBox Pro account email current so you receive product announcements.
- Check your activation count against your tier — exceeding the limit requires an upgrade purchase.
- Review the <a href="/terms">Terms of Service</a> so you understand what would put a license at risk.
Don't
- Don't expect a refund or proration on a lifetime license — the purchase is final.
- Don't share or distribute lifetime licenses beyond your activation limit; this is a Terms violation.
- Don't dispute the original purchase via chargeback if you have a billing question — contact support first to avoid losing the license.
- Don't rely on a lifetime license for tier-specific features above what you purchased — features track tier, not license type.
