# Are Updates to the Software Free?

If you have a Lease License, as long as you are on an active lease, you have access to the latest version of the software.

If you have a Purchased License, it includes 1 year of free updates and support.  After that first year, if you would like to continue to have access to the updates we release for the software and access to our Support Team, you can purchase the optional Additional 1 Year of Updates and Support for your edition.

If you are on the Community edition, you have access to the latest version, but support for the Community edition is only available through the [MotiveWave forum](https://support.motivewave.com/forum/index.php?forums/community-edition-questions.26/).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.motivewave.com/knowledge-base/purchase/are-updates-to-the-software-free.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
