The 2 products will stay in sync for updates and upgrade until but will fall out of sync for updates after that.įor example, I bought the bundle yesterday, My product license runs from then until the 23/24 of June 2019.

This stand-alone product will have a one year license from the date you purchased on Steam and will update until the end of the license period.īoth the Steam and the Allegorithmic stand-alone will be available for you to use after the license expires forever, you just won't receive updates or upgrades for it unless you either op into a subscription or re-buy the product again.įor example I have the original Substance Painter, Substance Painter 2 and now Substance Painter 2018, license for 1 and 2 have expired and 2018 has just started, but I can use anyone of these products and download them from both Steam or Allegorithmic if I change out computers and need to go backwards for a project.

When you link your Steam account there and their website validates the Steam Key, it will give you a download link to get stand-alone products for the products you've bought here and product key links to register them. To compensate, Allegorithmic offers Steam user the opportunity to link your Steam account to your Allegorithmic account on their website. The steam version will not be updated into the new year. However on steam, the license will expire on 31 Dec.
