If you renew your license now you will be able to download the latest versions for one year, currently version 2.2.12.
After the 12 months of validity have elapsed you can still use the license as long as you want but to benefit from new versions and support by ticket then you will have to renew again.
Another solution: XenForo Cloud.

Thank you. If I want to purchase the license it's $160 I believe. Upgrading is only $55 so I may do that for now.

In other words you should never have to pay the $160 again. You only need to renew (extend) if you want to upgrade to whatever is the latest or be eligible for ticket support.

This requires me having to pay $55 each year when I could pay $160 and have it perm. I know it won't be updated. I don't use this full time. I am a student and this is just a side project I do for fun as I enjoy tinkering with these kind of things. If it became more serious at some point then yeah I wouldn't mind but for now this is just for fun so im trying to be as cheap as possible.
Ive been trying to configure my old xenforo to test on my home server but it requires php5.x. I am currently trying to install the older version to test it before spending any money. If I like it and think I will use it more, then yeah I'll upgrade.
Thanks for you help.
I probably misspoke: the $160 is to buy a new license, it allows you to use the software for life but will require a renewal in 12 months to benefit from new updates and ticket support. You already have a license, just renew it to find the same advantages (no more and no less) than a newly purchased license.

You're not force to renew every year. After your license expires you can still run your community just fine. The only thing you lose access to is ticket support and software updates. When you're ready for new updates or require ticket support, you can renew then.

I meant force in terms of not having a perm license. I should have worded that better.

Gotcha, so in your case if you have an old expired license, you'll just need to pay the renewal fee to get access to the new versions as far as I'm aware. No need to buy a new license.

But Suzan, what if OP is not using Cpanel? Please advice.

cpanel has nothing whatsoever to do with the XenForo Licence. You renew it via your account area here:
Customer area login
xenforo.com

Well, technically you’re incorrect. In order to do the upgrade you need to go to your admin panel, which is technically through the website which runs on whatever OS. Unless you’re (Mr)lucky and have someone do it for you, but hey, just technically speaking of course.cpanel has nothing whatsoever to do with the XenForo Licence.

I recommend making a back up of your database and files through CPanel, Plesk or any other OS before doing the actual upgrade.
