Licence Duration

BrightPay licences are sold per tax year and can be activated on up to 10 PCs.

If you purchase the 2024/25 version of BrightPay, you will be able to use it to process payroll for the 2024/25 tax year only. Your licence will not expire, in that you can keep BrightPay installed and revisit the 2024/25 tax year whenever you need. But when you need to process 2025/26 payroll, you will need to purchase a new licence for the new tax year.

Should I use BrightPay Cloud or Desktop version?

The new cloud version of BrightPay offers powerful functionality not available in the Windows/Mac version and will be the focus of our development going forward.

But we're still playing catch-up on a few final advanced features and so some customers may want to continue using the desktop version for the time being.

We’ve prepared a guide to help you chose which one you should use.
