We know software licensing can be complicated these days with many cad vendors forcing subscription-based licensing. We never force our customers into anything and that's why we provide a licensing option that fits your needs. Below are several licensing options with brief explanations.

Perpetual License.
An IronCAD perpetual software license is a type of software license that authorizes an individual or organization the right to use the program indefinitely at the release purchased. With IronCAD’s perpetual software licensing, a customer pays a single upfront fee for the software license. The perpetual license option is the primary of IronCAD, LLC and customers alike. Technical support,software updates, and hot-fixes are not included, but can be purchased separately if desired.
Rental (or Subscription) License.
IronCAD also offers a rental option for licensing as well. The rental is annually and can be renewed each year if desired. It includes the use of the software (not cloud-based) , technical support, software updates, and hot-fixes. This option is great if you require temporary license for short-term help.
Concurrent (Floating) Licenses.
Designed for larger organizations who require multiple licenses and have a diverse mixture of CAD users. IronCAD provides the Concurrent License or sometimes referred to as a Floating License. This allows a license to be shared across a server network. IronCAD's concurrent licenses are not tied to a specific end user, they are truly floating and therefore can be shared to ANYONE in the organization. This is a great option if there only a few primary cad users and larger amount of casual users. It saves the expense of purchasing a license for everyone.
Mobile License.
IronCAD provides a Mobile license that allows a single end user to transport there license on the road on a laptop or secondary computer. This is ideal if a user wishes to bring work home or to do work on-site at a customers location. It's ideal for a tele-commuter.
