All registered owners of BBEdit version 2.5 and later are eligible to upgrade to BBEdit 9. Upgrade pricing is as follows:
If you purchased BBEdit 8.5, 8.6, or 8.7 on or after January 1, 2008, you are eligible to receive an upgrade to BBEdit 9 free of charge.
Please see the free upgrade eligibility page for complete details.

You must provide your existing product serial number when ordering the version upgrade. (If you cannot locate your product serial number, or are upgrading from an older version which did not use serial numbers, please contact our Sales Department for assistance.)
Where to look for your BBEdit serial number:
Individuals who use TextWrangler 2.0 or later may purchase BBEdit at the normal price of US$125 via our online store.
Full-priced copies of Dreamweaver 1.x and 2.x were bundled with an older version of BBEdit (4.5 or 5.x), which is eligible for a version upgrade to BBEdit 9 for only US$30.
To place an upgrade order, please contact our Sales Department directly, and have your Dreamweaver 1.x or 2.x serial number available.
Copies of Dreamweaver 2 purchased via ESD, or purchased for academic use or via a volume license, as well as all copies of Dreamweaver 3.0 and later, include only the demo version of BBEdit and thus do not qualify for discounted upgrade pricing. Anyone owning these versions may purchase BBEdit at the normal price of US$125 via our online store.
Individuals who use BBEdit Lite may purchase BBEdit at the normal price of US$125 via our online store.
