Simple. One-time. No subscriptions.

The terms, in plain English

Purchase type	One-time. There is no subscription and no recurring charge.
Version coverage	All v6.x releases, including new AI engines added during the v6.x lifecycle.
Installations	Every machine you personally own — desktop, laptop, workstation.
Concurrent users	One. A license is one person, not one household or one team.
Commercial use	Permitted. You own your output outright, with no royalty or attribution.
Refunds	30-day money-back guarantee.
Transfers	Permitted, in full, to one recipient. Contact support to reassign.
Offline use	Supported. Activation needs a connection; restoration does not.

*Some AI engines require separate installation of third-party software, models or SDKs not bundled with the application. CodeFormer, ProPainter and DMDNet are subject to non-commercial license terms; they are user-installed and not distributed with Advanced Tape Restorer. Full detail on the Third-Party Licenses page.

Questions

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, and the software is yours. We do not bill you again for v6.x.

How many computers can I install it on?

As many as you personally own. The only limit is that one license supports one person using the software at a time — so a second person needs their own license, even on your hardware.

Can I use it for paid client work?

Yes. Commercial restoration work is explicitly permitted and you own everything you produce. The one exception is the optional non-commercial engines — CodeFormer, ProPainter and DMDNet — whose authors restrict commercial use of their output. They are not bundled; you install them deliberately, and the application marks them before use.

What happens when the early-adopter run sells out?

The price moves to $150. If you bought at the early-adopter price, nothing changes for you — your license still covers the whole v6.x line.

Do I need an internet connection?

To activate your license and download AI models the first time you use them, yes. After that restoration runs entirely on your own machine, and the license supports offline validation for periods without connectivity.

What are the system requirements?

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. A CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPU is strongly recommended for the AI engines; DirectML provides a vendor-neutral fallback and CPU inference works but is slow. See the full requirements on the home page.

How do I get support?

Email [email protected] with your order ID. Early-adopter licenses include priority support.
