LINQPad – The .NET Programmer's Playground

It's a nice program, but you need to pay to update every version of .net, which is every year.

I used to purchase premium version (single user) and the upgrade option is $97.50 instead of $125 for new license.

You pay for every LTS dotnet,so every 2 years. E.g Linqpad .Net8 license also supports .Net9

Major version are: LINQPad 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8. The official page seems to disagree. There is nothing about LTS.

Sure, I can skip 7 and wait for 8, but that kind of defeats the purpose.

That's correct - we aim to ship a new major version every ~2 years, which for now aligns with every LTS. So LINQPad 8 will support .NET 9 (in fact, it already works with the .NET 9 previews.)
