Coding with Python is free. Coding with blocks is available exclusively to our supporters. You can get access with a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase. Thank you for your support!
If you’re undecided, check out our introduction to see how Pybricks helps students, teachers, robotics teams, and hobbyists learn to code and get the most out of their LEGO® kits.
Unlock block coding with a license
You can purchase a license in our store. You’ll receive an email with one or more codes that you can activate as shown below.
This is a one-time purchase that you can keep using without creating any accounts. Localized payment options are available. These licenses work even when you’re offline.
We have licenses for individuals, teams, and schools—either annual or perpetual. Schools are welcome to request a free trial for the school license. Just email us at sales@pybricks.com.
If your organization prefers to receive a quote or use purchase orders, you may email us as well. Please send us your billing address, and Tax Exempt ID or VAT ID if applicable.
Before you purchase, please make sure your system is compatible. To be sure, you can follow the installation guide and run your first program without special access. Then you’ll know that it works, and the hardest part is already out of the way!
By purchasing a license, you agree to the terms and conditions. Please contact us at sales@pybricks.com for more options, volume discounts, or participation in our affiliate program.
How to unlock the app with a license
You’ll be prompted to sign in automatically when you open a block project in the Pybricks app. Or just click the user icon in the top right corner.
Enter your license code and click Activate, as shown below.
You can see the status of your license by clicking on the user icon again. This also lets you deactivate your license so you can use it on another device.
If you experience any issues signing in, please email us. For technical support and questions, please use the support page.
What does “perpetual” mean?
Some of our licenses have a perpetual duration. This means that you will not be charged again after the initial purchase. You will receive future updates and add-ons for free.
You can even deactivate the license and use it on another device.
However, we cannot guarantee indefinite support or that the web app will function flawlessly forever. As technology evolves and circumstances change, maintaining compatibility and providing support for older devices, operating systems, and browsers may become impractical or untenable.
This is why we kindly ask you to run a test program first. You can check compatibility, try the installation, and run your first program before making a purchase. That way you know that everything works, and the hardest part is already out of the way!
Please see the terms and conditions for more details.
For fans and casual users
Instead of using a license, you can unlock access to block coding by supporting us monthly on the creator platform Patreon. You can try out Pybricks block coding for free and cancel anytime.
All tiers unlock block coding. Choose a different tier to support our initiatives like LEGO MINDSTORMS support. Thank you!
Once you’re signed up, you can unlock the app using your Patreon account when you open a block coding project.
If you decide to switch to a license code later, don’t forget to cancel your monthly subscription. You can stay on or rejoin as a free member if you still want to receive fan updates.
