If you are a student practicing cue stacks, use free. If you are a band running backing tracks through a stereo PA, use free. But the moment you plug into a multi-speaker system or project onto a large screen for a paying crowd, budget for that "Rent to Own" license. It is worth every penny to avoid the embarrassment of a watermark or a missing monitor mix.

But if you are a student, a small theater company, or a designer prototyping at home, the price tag of the Pro license can feel intimidating. That is where (the "Rent to Own" mode) comes in.

So, what is the catch? QLab Free has one single limitation: You cannot disable the "Watermark" or unlock all physical outputs.
