# Upgrade

The **Upgrade** page is in the BxLens group of the console, next to Settings. It shows on Free, with an expired license, and during a trial. It disappears when the license is BoxLang+.

It has three parts:

* **Where you are.** Free, or the days left of a trial, and a button to the [BoxLang plans page](https://boxlang.io/plans) to get BoxLang+ or start a trial. The button is a link: the console itself makes no request to any other site.
* **Free, always.** What stays free: the whole bar, the live console for one server, the `lens*` BIFs and the extension API.
* **What BoxLang+ adds.** Every locked feature, grouped, with what Free gets and what BoxLang+ gets side by side.

Locked pages (In flight, Threads) show a BoxLang+ note with a link to this page. Locks inside a page (log search, settings, Queries) show the same note.

This page lists the current split and may change. The full table is in [Free and BoxLang+](../licensing.md).

Already have a license? Install `bx-plus` and activate it. The locked items open within 5 minutes without a restart.
