We get it — version 1 still works. But schedules are tighter than ever, and so are budgets.
Final Exhibits 2 helps you finish exhibit prep faster, with less manual effort and fewer interruptions. It was built to handle the same tasks you're already doing—just more smoothly and efficiently. The interface is familiar, and the benefits to your workflow, time, and sanity add up fast.
For most users, the cost of the annual subscription pays for itself on the very first job.
You can also install version 2 alongside version 1. If you ever need to go back, nothing’s lost.
I understand — everyone appreciated the one-time license model. But Final Exhibits has grown a lot since version 1. What I started as a small personal project has become a tool used by thousands. Supporting that growth—and responding to the steady stream of user requests—takes a lot of my time and attention.
The subscription model helps sustain that work. It allows for more frequent updates, quicker fixes, and continuous improvements—without waiting for a “major version” release. It also helps keep things compatible and stable across the many ways people use Final Exhibits in their workflow.
For most users, the cost of the annual subscription pays for itself quickly — often on the first job.
Yes — as a courtesy, perpetual license holders can use the Full version of Final Exhibits 2 at no additional cost until February 28, 2026.
To activate this version, simply add the prefix "COURTESY-" to your existing license key when prompted.
For example, if your version 1 license key is: 12345678-abcd1234-efgh5678-ijkl9012
You would enter: COURTESY-12345678-abcd1234-efgh5678-ijkl9012
Each license includes two activations, allowing you to use Final Exhibits on two computers, as long as they’re used by the same person. The two activations are intended meant to be used by two separate people on two separate computers.
See the EULA (available in the About window) for more details.
