The update to Scrivener 3 is free for users who bought Scrivener 2 on or after 20th August 2017. Users who purchased Scrivener 2 for macOS before that can buy Scrivener 3 with a 45% discount. The upgrade fee is the same for both the regular and education licences. Only users who purchased from our store, or from a reseller that provides activation through our store (such as Amazon), are eligible for discounted update pricing.
If you qualify for a discounted or free upgrade, please follow these instructions to claim your discount:
Once your purchase is complete, Scrivener should activate your new licence automatically. You’re now ready to get writing. You’ll receive an email with your new licence code - be sure to keep it safe in case you want to install Scrivener 3 on another computer.
Important note to Mac App Store customers: We have no record of our Mac App Store customers because Apple does not share this information with us, so we are sadly unable to provide automatic update discounts for users who bought Scrivener from Apple. Moreover, Apple does not provide any way of offering upgrade discounts on the Mac App Store. We want to make this offer open to all our users, though, so if you are a Mac App Store customer and would like a discount on the update, please email us with a proof of purchase and we will send you a discount coupon that you can use to purchase Scrivener 3 from our store.
