Good afternoon Andrew and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!
Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.
is the pricing for one year only?
Yes it is.
as i do i need to renew every year even if i don’t care about support?
The renewal also provides you with updates (fixes and new features).
If you wish to not renew, the plugin will still work, but you will have to freeze all of the the Events Calendar plugins to their versions at the time.
Let me know if that helps.
Have a great day!
Geoff B.
