# Do I get Storage Studio updates with my licence?

Yes. Every plan includes all future updates while it's active, and the Lifetime licence includes all future updates with no renewal.

The **Updates** card in **Settings → License** shows whether a newer version is ready, with **Check Now**, **Download** and **Release Notes** buttons. See [release notes](https://storagestudio.us/release-notes).
