Why twinBASIC, and why now?

twinBASIC is a modern, VB6-compatible compiler and IDE, built to preserve full backward compatibility with existing code while adding a wide range of modern features. Black Friday is your opportunity to secure a perpetual licence ahead of the v1 release.

Please note: These products are offered as pre-orders, as twinBASIC is presently in its late-beta development stage.

We don't usually offer perpetual licences for twinBASIC, so grab yourself a deal while they're available!

These Black Friday deals are only available until Friday 5th December 2025 (inclusive)

Modern successor to VB6

Maintain and evolve your existing VB6 codebase with a modern toolchain. twinBASIC brings 32-bit and 64-bit compilation together with strong compatibility, so you can move forward without rewriting from scratch.

Perpetual, version-tied licences

Choose the level that matches your needs: v1 only, v1+v2, v1–v5, or lifetime. No recurring subscription is required for continued use of the versions included in your licence. Major versions (v1, v2, v3, etc) follow an estimated 12–18 month release cycle.

Funding the final stage of v1

Revenue from these Black Friday licences helps fund the final stages of development toward the v1 release, and supports a stronger push into 2025–2026 - including expanding our team, improving turnaround times, and continuing investment in the compiler.

Frequently asked questions

A few clarifications about how these perpetual licences work, and how they relate to the free Community Edition.

Are these licences really perpetual?

Yes. Each paid edition on this page is a perpetual licence tied to specific major versions of twinBASIC (for example, v1 only, v1+v2, v1–v5, or lifetime). Once you own a perpetual licence, you can continue using those versions indefinitely.

How is Community Edition different from Personal?

Community Edition is free, allows commercial use, and includes all core compiler features, but every built executable shows a 5-second nag screen for 64-bit builds and there are no optimisations. Personal Edition removes the nag screen, enables optimisations for built-in runtime packages (producing smaller executables), and adds non-priority email support.

When do I need Professional instead of Personal?

Choose Professional Edition if you need full optimisation of your own code, or if you are selling the software that you create using twinBASIC, or if you need the ability to run automated / unattended command-line builds as part of a build server, scheduled script or CI-style pipeline. Personal Edition is intended for manual builds only, and is strictly not for use in creating commercial products.

What does “automated / unattended builds” actually mean?

Automated builds are builds started by scripts or services without a person directly interacting with the twinBASIC UI - for example, running builds from a build server, GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, or a nightly batch script. This usage is only permitted with Professional, Ultimate, VIP Silver or VIP Gold licences.

How do Ultimate, VIP Silver and VIP Gold differ?

Ultimate gives you a perpetual licence for v1 and v2. VIP Silver extends that to v1–v5 and includes a swag pack and VIP Discord role. VIP Gold is a lifetime licence for all future versions, with premium swag!

I already own a twinBASIC licence. What should I do?
