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.

TRY & BUM Program
The program allows customers to try CGS Labs software before making a purchase. Customers start with a Subscription and can later purchase a perpetual license or a longer-term subscription, with the initial Subscription cost deducted from the final price. This option is available for PLATEIA, AQUATERRA, and FERROVIA, excluding the 3-year Subscription. The upgrade must be completed before the subscription ends. For AUTOPATH, AUTOSIGN, and TRAFFIC COLLECTION, customers can only upgrade to a longer-term subscription, not a perpetual license. Customers with a 7-day subscription can upgrade within 30 days of purchase.

The Try & Buy option is limited to one use per customer!

Perpetual license

Is a traditional licensing option that does not expire in time. Although the initial cost of the software is higher compared to the subscription, you will own the license indefinitely. Even if you decide to have an active CGS Labs maintenance plan for your license, keeping your software up-to-date, the cost of ownership will still be lower when compared to the subscription.

Single user vs Network software license

Single-user software license

Can be installed only on one single computer and can be used by only one user at a time.

Network software license

Can be used by any user inside the local network that has software installed on his/her computer but by a limited number of users at a time. One network license can be used by one user at a time, 3 network licenses by 3 users at a time respectively.

CGS Labs software Maintenance

Active maintenance of CGS Labs software (CSM) gives you access to all new versions of the software, which bring new functionalities, corrections and adaptations to new CAD platforms. Active Maintenance Holders are entitled to free CGS Labs technical support and the right to free license transfers* and license reactivations* in the event of license loss due to potential hardware or software technical issues [Check our Lincense Reactivation & Transfer Policy for details]. They can also install a so-called “Home-use” license, which gives you some extra flexibility when using the software on your home computer or laptop. CGS Labs software maintenance is a service attached to all types of subscriptions and perpetual CGS Labs licenses.

CGS Labs financing

Financing is an attractive option when you are purchasing multiple perpetual licenses. It gives you the option to repay the license(s) in monthly installments over a longer period, and in addition to this, you have the right to subscribe to additional temporary licenses at a very affordable price.

This is a great option for anybody that is starting a new business or just wants to change from another software to CGS Labs.
