It is worth noting that the Creator Licence will not permit you to change the Splash Screen of your projects, nor can you disable anonymous game analytics, and your executables will be compiled using the VM with no YYC option.

The Creator licence is a 12 month non-renewing licence, and at the end of the 12 month period you will need to buy another licence to continue using GMS2 fully, or before your initial 12 month licence elapses, take advantage of the 30% discount on the Desktop licence if you want to upgrade and take your projects to the next level.

The Creator Licence is designed for hobby developers or for people that just want to have fun making small projects for themselves, as well as those people that want to learn to use the product without having to pay a larger initial amount. For example, purchasing GameMaker Studio 2 Creator Mac will not allow you to use the Creator licence on a Windows machine. The IDE can be used on both Windows and macOS (just download which ever one is appropriate from the Downloads section of your YoYo Account) but you will be confined to the Trial licence's limitations if you do not have a licence for the platform. For example, purchasing GameMaker Studio 2 Creator Mac will allow you to use the Creator licence only on a Mac and export to Mac.

You can buy either a Windows or a macOS licence, meaning that you will only be able to compile a final executable for one or the other depending on which you bought. With the Creator Licence you unlock the power of GameMaker Studio 2 and get access to unlimited resources as well as the possibility to create a final executable of any project you make.
