OpenAudible requires a valid license to use the full version of the software.
Every license includes one year of free updates. After that, a low-cost upgrade
unlocks the latest version and another year of updates.
Check License
If you already purchased a license, check your email for a receipt. It should
have a license code.
You can check or troubleshoot the status of your license here.
Your license still works with every version of OpenAudible released before
. To run a newer
version, purchase a low-cost upgrade, which includes another year of free
updates.
Why older versions aren't recommended
Your license never stops working with the versions it covers, and some
older versions may keep running. However, in September 2026 Audible
changed how its servers approve downloads, and older versions of
OpenAudible can now be refused (“throttled” or license
denied), even for books you own. We can only fix this in new releases,
so upgrading to the latest version is the reliable way to keep
downloading your library.
No newer version has been released since your license expired, so the
version you have is still the most recent release. Purchasing an upgrade
now extends your free updates for another year, so the next release is
included.
