What’s a ‘Free’ vs ‘Gold’ (x.y vs Lifetime) License?

The philosophy behind MediaMonkey for Windows is that the Free version should provide all of the functionality that an average user would want, and that the Gold version provides some extra functionality that makes it even more useful for advanced users. The differences between the two are summarized on our download page.

MediaMonkey for Windows Gold x.y (e.g. 2024.x) and Lifetime licenses are both perpetual licenses–meaning that they can be used with certain versions of MediaMonkey forever. The difference between the licenses is in the support time frame. Licenses sold for the current x.y version (e.g. 2024.x) will support updates to future 2024.x versions (e.g. 2024.1, 2024.2, etc.), and are guaranteed to minimally support 1 year of updates from the date of purchase, so if MediaMonkey 2026.x is released 1 month after a 2024.x license has been purchased, then a free upgrade to 2026.x will be provided. Existing Gold license holders who aren’t eligible for a free upgrade, receive coupons for a discounted upgrade.

A ‘Lifetime’ license supports all 2024.x updates (e.g. 2024.1, 2024.2, 2024.3, …) and all future upgrades (e.g. 2026.x, 2028.x, etc.). Note that MediaMonkey for Windows and MediaMonkey for Android are licensed independently; a MediaMonkey for Windows Gold license will not unlock MediaMonkey for Android Pro features.
