BeerSmith 3 Pricing and Preorder Open

A few days ago  I sent the BeerSmith 3 Quick Look out and described some of the highlights for BeerSmith 3 including:
  • Beer, Mead, Wine and Cider recipe support and an updated user interface
  • Substantial new beer features including water and mash tools, 2 step starters, and more
Today I'm happy to open the preorder discount.  If you want to skip all of the preliminaries and preorder immediately you can do it here:


BeerSmith 3 License Options
Four license levels are available: three subscription options and one "pay it once".  Licenses are now tied to your cloud account using an online activation system:
  • Basic License - You pay a single fee which entitles you to 2 activations, minor updates only and a basic cloud account.  No subscription.
  • Gold License - Subscription option which gives you two personal activations, a Gold level cloud account, free major version updates, and upcoming cloud features. Starts at $9.95 for the first year!
  • Platinum License - Subscription option which gives you three personal activations, a Platinum level cloud account, free major version updates, and upcoming cloud features.
  • Pro License - Subscription option which gives you five commercial level activations, a Pro level cloud account, free major version updates, and upcoming cloud features
I've significantly lowered the entry price for subscription options, and you can now subscribe yearly with autorenew starting as low as $9.95 for the first year. Click on the buy link above to see the pricing and features for various levels.

BeerSmith 2 Upgrade Options
    • Existing Gold/Platinum/Professional Members - Have automatically had a BeerSmith 3 license installed in their cloud account for their current term.  I will also update the accounts once more before the launch date. No action is needed on your part, and you do not need to pay separately for an upgrade.
    • Recent BeerSmith 2 Purchasers: If you bought BeerSmith 2 after 15 October 2017 you can use this link to get a free 12 month Gold membership.  Log in and enter your activation key (from Help->Activate in BeerSmith 2) and the system will apply install your BeerSmith 3 license in your account.
    • Older BeerSmith 2 Licenses: We are offering a substantial pre-order discount on BeerSmith 3 now. I believe most existing users can find an affordable plan below. I intend to close the pre-order pricing out by the end of June, so act now.

Would You Like to Learn More?
I've posted a more detailed article on the features in BeerSmith 3 here along with linked release notes.  I've also created a page here explaining the new online licensing system and licensing and upgrades in more detail.

The "upcoming cloud features" referenced above include a series of online tools and work I'm doing to develop an online version of BeerSmith you can access from anywhere.   This will be fully accessible to Gold and above members.

I know some people will be opposed to a paid upgrade to BeerSmith 3 since all minor updates for the last 7 years were free.  Consider that I only had one paid upgrade (version 2.0 in 2011) in the last 15 years, and all other updates have been free.  Also consider the excellent value the software has provided for you over a period of years as well as the many free BeerSmith activities it supports including the BeerSmith Blog, Newsletter, and Podcast when you make your purchase decision.

Sincerely,
Brad Smith, BeerSmith LLC
Thank you again for your continued support!
