Differences between alternative license and original license

This information is included so that the customer clearly understands what type of license they are acquiring and what features they can expect based on the chosen option.

Alternative License: This is a non-original license, with a one-time payment and no monthly or annual subscriptions. It allows functional use of the program to edit photos, work with RAW files, organize catalogs, apply color adjustments, save projects, and export images from the computer where it is installed. It does not include official updates, cloud services, Capture One Live, downloads from a personal account, or linking to the manufacturer's personal accounts. Linking accounts, manually updating, or modifying the program may affect activation and require additional technical support with a fee.

Original License: This is the official option from the manufacturer. It includes access to full features according to the contracted plan, an official account, online services, available updates, compatible collaborative services, and official support. Its cost is usually higher and it can operate under a one-time payment, upgrade, subscription, or a plan defined by the manufacturer.

For business, corporate, government, or institutional use, Luctecno recommends original licenses, as they are the appropriate option to comply with best practices, audits, formal support, and more demanding professional needs.

Note: These licenses are tied to the computer where they are installed and are not transferable.
