Stata maintenance

Maintenance allows users with a perpetual license to stay up to date with a predictable annual cost. When you purchase a perpetual license,* you receive one year of maintenance, which is renewable annually at the same price of renewing an annual license. When you keep your maintenance current, you will receive the next release of Stata automatically and without additional charge, giving you the benefit of both access to the latest features and a perpetual license.

Benefits of maintenance

• Predictable. You can budget for your annual renewal—you will know when it is due—and you will not be met with unexpected upgrade costs.
• Price. Stata maintenance is the least expensive way to always keep your perpetual license up to date. If you choose not to renew your maintenance, you will need to upgrade your license at the current upgrade rate.
• Updates and security. You are ensured continued access to updates, including software enhancements, bug fixes, and security patches.
• Support. You will enjoy uninterrupted access to technical support from a dedicated staff of expert Stata programmers and statisticians. Technical support is available for the current version of Stata, and Stata maintenance ensures you are always on the current version.
• Access. You will be of the first to be notified of new releases of Stata. You will automatically receive your upgraded new version of Stata for free—no additional paperwork or stress.
• Priority. You will receive your licenses quickly. You will have priority access to new features.
• Convenient. You will receive timely reminders that your maintenance period is about to expire.
• Ownership. A Stata perpetual license still will not expire. The license will remain in your ownership with no interruptions in access, even if the maintenance term is not renewed. If you decide to not renew your maintenance, upgrades to new versions of Stata must be purchased separately.

*Student perpetual licenses do not include maintenance. If you own a student perpetual license and would like to upgrade to a new version of Stata, you may purchase an upgrade separately.
