Can You Own SOLIDWORKS Forever?

So, you're ready to buy SOLIDWORKS?

We understand, it's a major investment. Not just in your product, business, and infrastructure, but in us as well.

That's why we want to make sure you're well-equipped to make the decisions you need to keep your business growing and support you on your design journey.

When it comes to buying desktop SOLIDWORKS, there are two main ways you can purchase your licenses: Rental and Perpetual.

We also offer an additional solution for start-ups and entrepreneurs.

Rental Licensing

Rental licencing can be likened to a subscription model, allowing you to rent or 'subscribe' to SOLIDWORKS licenses on a quarterly, or annual basis while benefiting from the same level of support as those on perpetual license models.

The Benefits of Rental Licensing:

• Lower Up-Front Costs:?Rental licenses are more budget-friendly with lower upfront costs.
• Only Pay for What you Need:?With the ability to mix and match almost all of the products in the SOLIDWORKS portfolio, you can be agile and adjust to your needs as required.
• Flexible and Scalable:?Rental Licensing accommodates fluctuating workloads and workforces, allowing you to prioritise product needs with project schedules.

Perpetual Licensing

Perpetual licensing requires you to pay up-front for your software license, this allows you to use this license indefinitely, providing you comply with the terms of the agreement.

The only additional cost you will be required to pay is annual maintenance to ensure you're working on the most up-to-date release.

The Benefits of Perpetual Licensing:

• Ownership: You have the right to the license indefinitely.
• Long-Term Cost-Efficiency: If you require the software on a long-term basis, the cost of ownership will become more cost-effective than the rental/subscription option.
