FAQ

Do I need to log in with my Clip Studio account for volume licenses as well?
Yes, both license administrators and users need to log in with their Clip Studio account. Sign up for a new account here.
What is the minimum number of licenses needed for a volume license?
You need to buy at least five licenses and you can add to the plan in multiples of five.
Can I change the number of licenses?
You can add more licenses to your plan at any time. You can subtract licenses from your plan during contract renewal. When you add licenses, the way that you pay for them will be different depending on whether it is added to your existing contract or a new contract.
Please feel free to contact us through the contact form for more details.
If I want to add a license before the next contract renewal, will it need a new contract? Or can I add it to an existing contract?

If you pay by bank transfer, you can add it to your existing contract. From the next renewal, the additional amount can be paid together with the amount for the original contract.
The additional charge will be calculated on a monthly basis until the next contract renewal.
If you pay by credit card, the additional amount will require a new contract, with each contract renewing separately.
For more information, please contact us using the inquiry form.

Example: Payment structure for 10 licenses under an existing contract (US$1,180), with an additional 10 licenses added six months later (total of 20 licenses: US$2,120)

Signed up for 10 licenses on April 1	Annual Cost: US$1,180
10 more licenses added on October 1 (6 months until next contract renewal)	The cost shall be the total cost (20 licenses) until the next renewal minus the cost of the existing licenses (10 licenses). US$2,120 (20 licenses) - US$1,180 (10 licenses) = US$ 940 US$940 / 12 months x 6 months = US$470
Contract renewed with 20 licenses on April 1 of the following year	New Total Annual Cost: US$2,120

Are updates with additional features available?
Volume licenses will always be eligible to receive all updates released while subscribed.
Are there any restrictions on what devices volume licenses can be used on?
No. For example, during a ten-license contract, you can use any combination of 5 iPads, 3 for Windows, 2 for macOS, etc. Each license can be used on two devices. For example, using a Windows PC at school and an iPad at home.
Do I need to apply for a volume license again after the one-year contract period has expired?
No, your subscription will be automatically renewed after one year, so you do not need to sign up again.

Testimonials

Mooncolony (United Kingdom, Animation Studio)

Clip Studio Paint is a great graphics app and has many handy features, I often use it for my linework. It is very pleasant to work with, and it is clear that the creators of Clip Studio Paint treat artists with attention and respect. My favourite features are: fill with closing gaps, reference layers, modifier hotkeys, Quick Access palette, transform multiple layers, and perspective rulers. Other programs suffer from the lack of some of these features.

ARTAN Animation (Argentina, Animation Studio)

We discovered Clip Studio Paint EX one day and honestly, it was a big change. It met our requirements and helped us organize our production in a better way. The type of animation we do (tradigital 2D) requires a program based on classic techniques, and Clip Studio Paint was perfect for it. We gladly share and encourage the use of this software.

Ergosphere Game Studio (Brazil, Game Studio)

We at Ergosphere Game Studio use Clip Studio Paint from the raw concepts of our games until the final art and production stages. The app is very practical, has easy to find functions, and is artist friendly. The interface is very clean and objective. My favorite functions are community assets, transforming raster to vector layers, and 3D poses. It helps a lot to save production time! Many artistic brushes are available by default and there are so many more to download that are made by the community for free use.

Comic Express (Australia, Comic & Illustration Studio)

I work full time as a cartoonist and illustrator through my studio in Australia called ‘Comic Express’. Clip Studio Paint offers a highly professional toolset for a great price. This program has proven itself to be both solid in art production and consistency. As a small business, I must watch my budget and monthly costs, so I appreciate its price compared to other more expensive competitors. I cannot recommend it enough for those looking to do commercial cartoon and illustration work. It is well worth the time and investment.
