Dr.Explain – Order Licenses & Pricing Plans

Paid Dr.Explain Licenses

Paid Dr.Explain licenses allow you to create projects of any size and remove protective watermarks from graphics in the final documents.

Dr.Explain is licensed per user — the license key is tied to a Windows OS user account (can be transferred if necessary).

Two licensing models by duration:
One-year license

All updates are free during the license period.

Perpetual license for the current major version (ver. 7)

All minor updates (e.g., 7.1, 7.2, etc.) are free.
Major version upgrades (for example, to 8.0) will be free for those who purchased a license less than 12 months before the release of that upgrade.

Important: On December 1, 2025, we released Dr.Explain 7 — a major update. If your current license was purchased no more than one year ago (on December 1, 2024 or later), it is valid for version 7 as well — you do not need to purchase a new license; simply install Dr.Explain 7 and enjoy even greater efficiency.
Otherwise, please check the Dr.Explain 7 upgrade instructions. Or you may continue using Dr.Explain 6.
