Happy New Year to you too!
Unfortunately, we don't offer discounts or sales on Spine licenses. This policy ensures fairness to all our customers who have chosen to support us by paying the full price.
The Spine Essential and Professional licenses are one-time purchases that provide ALL future updates for life, and we release a lot of updates! This includes ongoing support and continuous development work.
We understand that people have different financial situations around the world, but we've decided the most honorable approach is to offer the same fair price to everyone, rather than trying to determine who deserves a discount more than others.
If you're considering Spine but want to evaluate it first, you can download the Spine Trial from the download page, which lets you try out all the editor's functionality except for saving and exporting projects.
If Spine Pro is outside your budget right now, you might consider starting with Spine Essential. While it doesn't include advanced features like meshes and constraints, you can still create a wide variety of animations with it, and it's a great way to get started with Spine!
