Hm, I don&#x27;t see any mention of it, but renting to own is probably the safer bet for making sure you get upgrades.<p>In the event you finished renting-to-own and a major release comes out, let&#x27;s say Substance Designer 6, you get cheap one-time upgrade fees (IIRC $75 for SD vs the $150 new purchase). Looks like they don&#x27;t allow for monthly payments on upgrades, but there&#x27;s no reason JetBrains couldn&#x27;t.
