Single User Licence
One single user licence allows two computers to be activated simultaneously. This is typically for individual users who might find the ability to run the software in two locations advantageous.
To allow budgeting flexibility, a Single User Licence can be purchased either on a 1 year or 3 year subscription basis, or it can be bought outright with no expiry date. (Software on subscription will only run whilst the subscription is active.)
N.B. Internet connectivity is required at installation and periodically thereafter for licence verification.
Network Licence
The network licence allows an unlimited number of networked computers to be used on any one site. It also provides for four standalone computers (not connected to the network) on the same site. These might commonly be used for driving CAD/CAM equipment.
To allow budgeting flexibility, a Network Licence can be purchased either on a 1 year or 3 year subscription basis, or it can be bought outright with no expiry date. (Software on subscription will only run whilst the subscription is active.)
N.B. Internet connectivity is required for the “server” computer at installation and periodically thereafter for licence verification. All client computers must have connectivity to the “server” computer.
Home Use Licence
This allows students, teachers or other employees, who are working/studying at one site, to use the full version of the software on laptops/home computers. This typically allows students to develop projects in their own time, prepare for examinations, etc. It also allows staff to prepare and mark work off site. A Home Use Licence can only be purchased on a 1 year or 3 year subscription basis and the software will only run whilst the subscription is active. Home Use Licences are normally supplied in conjunction with a Network licence. However, a Home Use Licence can be supplied without a Network Licence if a Home Use Licence Setup fee is paid.
N.B. Internet connectivity is required at installation and periodically thereafter for licence verification.
Upgrade Discount
Current 2D PCB V2 Site licence holders and Site + Student licence holders can obtain a discount. A larger discount is applied if purchasing the Network Licence outright.
Updates to V3
Any updates to V3 will be provided free of charge to all active licence holders.
