It is our informal policy to have a paid major upgrade roughly once  every 12 to 24 months.  This allows us to have a reasonably consistent revenue stream with which to fund development of Keyboard~~Maestro, and ensures we are working as much for existing customers as to expand the customer base.  It means you can keep what you have purchased and not have to pay a subscription, but also that we will still be around working on improving Keyboard Maestro and adding features for when you choose to upgrade.

A fully-functional trial version of Keyboard~~Maestro is available for download from [[https://download.stairways.com/]].
