"PRO for Pro" is a special offer introduced in April 2023. It allows owners of permanent virtual QTAKE (1.x) licenses to temporarily upgrade their license as-is to QTAKE Pro. For example, if you own a legacy HDx2+STREAM license, you can temporarily upgrade it to a QTAKE Pro HDx2+STREAM license by renting the Pro Upgrade module from the QTAKE Rental Shop. You can optionally add other modules, such as X4, FORENSIC, GRADE etc. on top. Once the rental period for the Pro Upgrade expires, your permanent legacy license reverts to its original state and functionality.
QTAKE Pro represents our vision of a future-proof tool, built on the latest technologies. New features, new licensing options, studio-grade security, and user-driven product development. Learn more about the initial release of QTAKE Pro or check the summary of the key differences:
QTAKE Pro (2.x) Outstanding performance and new features | QTAKE (1.x) The legacy version |

The "PRO for Pro" offer can only be used with a virtual 1.x license. If you don't have any virtual legacy licenses yet, you will not be able to see or use the Pro Upgrade in the QTAKE Rental Shop. If you haven't yet converted your dongle-based permanent license into a virtual one, contact us for more information.
The process is simple, it takes just a few clicks to add the Pro Upgrade to your QTAKE 1.x license and start using the latest features and benefits.
Select the QTAKE Pro (2.x) rental configurator.
Tick the Enable QTAKE 1.x pool checkbox. Pro Upgrade will be automatically added to your order. If the 1.x pool is not available on some of the days selected, the full price of a QTAKE Pro license will be added for those days too.
Select your QTAKE modules, duration of the rental license, and operators eligible to activate the QTAKE Pro license.
After checkout, the QTAKE Pro license will appear directly in the QTAKE Pro application, the operator just needs to click the Activate button (no license file is required for QTAKE Pro 2.x rentals and therefore no license file is delivered when the order has been completed). Please note the QTAKE Pro license deactivation is only possible on computers with Secure Enclave.
