Enterprise
Licensing, without the guesswork.
Six ways to licence the same software. Which one fits depends on how long the work runs and how many people touch it.
The models
How the licences differ
- Perpetual
- You own the release outright and keep using it indefinitely. Upgrades are optional and priced from what you already own.
- Term (1 or 3 years)
- A fixed-length licence that includes every release published while it runs. Predictable cost; access ends with the term.
- Floating
- One licence, one person, two computers - a desktop and a laptop, say. The DRM allows two activations.
- Volume (enterprise)
- Multiple seats under one agreement that belong to the company: seats pass to a new employee when someone leaves, one invoice, one renewal date, and a dedicated account manager.
- Network
- Seats pooled on your LAN and used concurrently by a team of five or more, with centralised licence management. TurboCAD for Windows only.
- Academic / STEM
- Institutional pricing for schools and colleges, including classroom deployment. Minimum of five seats.
A note on floating. It is one person on two machines, not a seat shared around a team — the DRM permits two activations for the same user. Seats that move between people are what the enterprise licences are for: volume seats are reassigned when staff change, and a network licence pools seats across the team.
