Perpetual Licences — One-Time Purchase Option
Beyond annual subscriptions, Foxit also offers perpetual (one-time purchase) licences for PDF Editor. These are:
- A single upfront payment — no annual renewal
- Includes one year of updates and support
- Optional maintenance renewal for continued updates after year 1
- Available for Windows
Perpetual pricing varies by volume and configuration — contact Cloudfy for a quote. For organisations with fixed IT budgets that prefer CapEx over OpEx, perpetual licences are worth evaluating.
