How Do I figure out if the installed Burp is free or professional version

Raghav | Last updated: Mar 23, 2016 03:36PM UTC

I have Burp installed on my system. Kindly advise how to know if its the free or the professional version. The "about" in "help" is not listing anything except the website url. Also how to upgrade from free to professional version. Does it require reinstall once purchase the professional version.

Hi Raghav Thanks for your message. There are numerous ways to identify whether you are using Burp Suite Free edition or professional. When you load Burp and the orange splash screen appears, under the Burp logo you will see "Free Edition" or "Professional". You should be able to load the same screen by clicking Help > About as you have suggested. Are you able to see view the orange splash screen similar to the final screenshot in this tutorial? - https://support.portswigger.net/customer/en/portal/articles/1783038-launching-burp-suite You can buy the Pro version of Burp Suite here - https://portswigger.net/buy/.
