PrivateBooks license information

Purchase and license information for the Microsoft Store edition.

Last updated October 26, 2026

One purchase, no subscription

PrivateBooks v4 is a paid, one-time-purchase app. The planned US price is $49.99, with all v4.x updates included. The price shown by the Store before purchase applies. There is no subscription, trial, or in-app feature unlock.

Microsoft Store license

For copies acquired through the Microsoft Store, the Microsoft Standard Application License Terms apply. We do not add a separate custom end-user license agreement for that edition. Microsoft handles Store purchases and billing under its own terms.

Third-party components

Separately licensed third-party components remain governed by their applicable licenses. Their accompanying notices and source materials describe the rights for those components. PrivateBooks proprietary restrictions do not limit rights granted by those licenses, including modification and replacement of covered libraries and reverse engineering to debug modifications to those libraries where their licenses permit it.

Your records stay local

The app keeps books and receipt attachments on your computer. Arc & Ledger Accounting does not receive them through the app. Read our privacy policy and support information before choosing to send a separate message.

Other editions

This page does not change the licensing of the frozen free v3.4.2 legacy edition. Other distribution channels require their own license arrangements. See the release-status page for current availability.
