You need to be clear what you mean by a ‘lifetime’ licence.

Sometimes vendors have a ‘lifetime’ licence where you pay once and get all upgrades free forever. This is almost certainly a bad idea (for the vendor!).

With Hyper Plan, if you buy a v2 Professional licence, then you can use v2 Professional edition forever (perpetual licence). But you only get v3 if:
a) You pay a 40% upgrade fee; or
b) It is released within 3 months of your purchase of v2
