Our licensing system is flexible and based on the concurrent usage of installations. It is enough to simply stop using Spine on an old computer by logging out, then begin using it on a new one.
To provide Spine access to a new employee, first ensure your license is provisioned for the correct number of users, then provide the employee with your license's activation code. Alternatively, your IT department can perform the installation to avoid sharing your activation code.
If an employee leaves your company, they should logout of Spine and cease using your activation code. If you need a new activation code to prevent future access to the license, please contact us.
You can renew your license on your license page, which will extend your current license and keep your same activation code so your users are not impacted. The URL to your license page will be sent to you via email once your payment is completed. You will be reminded by email 90 days before your license expires.
If you make a new purchase instead of renewing from your license page, then you will receive a new activation code which will need to be given to your users.
Spine Enterprise licenses are valid for one year and can not be cancelled during this period. If you do not renew your license, it expires automatically, at which point you will not be able to use the Spine editor.

|||
Deformation Animate individual mesh vertices to deform images, allowing far more flexibility with the same set of images. |
|||
Weights Bind mesh vertices to multiple bones to deform the mesh automatically when bones are transformed. |
|||
Clipping Restrict drawing using a clipping polygon. |
|||
IK constraint Inverse kinematics adjusts a chain of bones to point at a target, allowing for easier, more powerful and dynamic animation. |
|||
Transform constraint Copy all or part of another bone's transform for more powerful rigging. |
|||
Path constraint Make bones follow a path for a variety of effects. |

Skins Allows characters that look completely different to use the same skeleton and animations. |
|||
Graph Interpolate between keys using linear, stepped, or bezier curves for more lifelike animation. |
|||
Dopesheet Provides a multiple timeline view of animation keys and allows them to be edited and retimed precisely. |
|||
Bone/Image Compensation Locks child bones or images in place when transforming the parent bone. |
|||
Posing Quickly pose your skeleton with multi-bone inverse kinematics (IK) via the Pose tool. |
