Clip Studio Paint 2.0 Announcement and What It Means

I see people worry that CSP is over now and that they will force subscriptions on everyone. This is not really the case. But lets back up a bit, what's actually happening?

CSP just released an announcement about version 2.0, and it's plans for the future. The current plan is to stop including free feature updates to the current CSP version (1.x) in 2023.

I am not linking the article in this post, but that's only so it can show up in the tag searches. It should be available on their website or on their Twitter!

This got long so it's under a read more.

Will CSP 2.0 replace my current CSP?

No.

If you already have a 1.x CSP (current CSP) license, you will keep it. It will not be voided, and you will not be forced to update to 2.0. If you're not interested in the new features of 2.0+, literally NOTHING changes. You can still use 1.x CSP, you will be able to access the cloud storage and asset store, customer service is still gonna be available.

You just can't use the new stuff in 2.0 going forward. That's it. They will not require a subscription to the current CSP version and will not lock you out of any stuff you have right now.

They will also still release bug fixes for 1.x until 3.0 drops (which is likely YEARS in the future).

Well, what if I WANT CSP 2.0?

If you want the new CSP, you will have several options. Buying the 2.0 Perpetual License, buying the Update Pass, and paying for the Subscription.

If you buy the 2.0 Perpetual License, you will be able to use all base features released for that version, but you will NOT be able to use the new features released in 2.1, 2.2 etc.

If you'd want to use those new features in 2.1+, you will need either:

A, An Update Pass

B, A Subscription

A- If you plan to buy the 2.0 License but also want the new features, you need the Update Pass. It will last a year and will cost less than the monthly subscription. It can be activated at any time. When it expires, you will NOT be able to use the new features anymore (stuff in 2.1 etc.), but can still use 2.0 features if you have the Perpetual License.

You can also just buy the Update Pass for your 1.x CSP (without needed to buy another license for base 2.0 CSP)! In which case when that would expire, you'd go back to the features available in the 1.x version.

B- If you're paying the monthly sub, you will get all new updates and features as they release. You do not need an Update Pass or a base Perpetual License. If you are already using a subscription for CSP right now, literally nothing changes for you!

How long will they support 1.x CSP though?

The article says they are planning to fully support it until 3.0 launches. That means releasing new bug fixes, and offering customer support to everyone who owns a 1.x CSP license.

Even after 3.0 drops in the far future, you will still be able to use 1.x fully. They will just stop supporting it officially, but if you already have a license and your PC can run it, you can still use it like before!
