# Upgrade from a Lease to a Purchased License

If you are on a lease (or previously had a lease) and want to upgrade to a Purchased License, MotiveWave will apply up to a maximum of 6 months' worth of lease payments (6 Monthly Lease payments, or two cycles of the 3-Month Auto-Renewing Lease, or one 6 Month Lease payment) that you paid towards an upgrade. These qualifying lease payments must have been made within the past 1 year. Lease payments can only be applied toward the same edition or a higher edition Purchased License.

This does not include any discounts, taxes, or currency conversions. You would only need to pay the remaining difference between the regular-priced Purchased License cost and your qualifying lease payments for the edition you leased, or a higher edition Purchased License.

Note: If you purchased your lease during a sale, that sale discount is not locked in as a discount on the Purchased License as it applies only to your lease.

If there's an active sale when you're ready to upgrade from your lease to the Purchased License, our Sales team can apply that current sale discount to the remaining difference between the regular-priced Purchased License cost and your qualifying lease payments.

To ensure a smooth process, the upgrade from a lease to a Purchased License must be manually created by our Sales team before you can complete the upgrade.

We recommend contacting our Sales team at <sales@motivewave.com>. They will calculate your exact upgrade cost, create the upgrade for you, and can also cancel any auto-renewing subscriptions on your lease (if you are on the Monthly or 3-Month Auto Renewing lease).
