Subscription vs Perpetual license

Subscription license

Offers you great flexibility and cost predictability. We offer short-term and long-term subscriptions so you can select the one that best meets your project/business needs. You will always use the most recent version of the software which features all the latest functionality and compatibility with various CAD platforms.

Subscription model offers many practical advantages:

  • Lower upfront costs – no need for high initial investment.
  • Greater flexibility – temporarily rent additional licenses based on project needs.
  • Always up to date – access to the latest versions, updates, and upgrades.
  • Compatibility with the latest CAD platforms – including AutoCAD, Civil 3D, BricsCAD.
  • Home use flexibility – install and activate additional licenses at home for work, training, or personal learning. The number of home-use licenses matches the number of commercial licenses owned.
  • Free technical support – available for all active subscribers.
  • Free license reactivation – in case of hardware failure or data loss.
  • Free license transfer – easily move your license to a new computer.

Perpetual license

Note: The availability of perpetual licenses may vary by region and is subject to local market conditions. Please contact your local reseller or CGS Labs representative for more information.
