Which BricsCAD license is better?

Perpetual or Subscription (Rental) or Perpetual with AMC.

BricsCAD users have complete choice about the type of license they would want to use.

Perpetual licenses

Let’s start with perpetual licenses. These licenses are perpetual in nature, meaning that once you purchase them, they will continue to work on your system as long as your operating system supports them.

So, it’s important to note that perpetual licenses are NOT lifetime licenses with no conditions attached. When we say a perpetual license will work forever, we mean that it will work on your computer with the operating system that is supported on the day of purchase.

For example, if you purchase BricsCAD V23 today and the current operating system is Windows 11, we guarantee that it will work seamlessly on it.

However, we cannot guarantee that it will work with future operating systems like Windows 12, 13 or 14, which may be released in the coming years.

If you never change your operating system, your BricsCAD is guaranteed to work forever perpetually. If you upgrade your operating system, but your BricsCAD is still the older one, it may work, or it may not work!

What are subscription licenses?

These are also known as rental licenses and are valid for a specific period. You can purchase a subscription license for one, two, or three years, and during that period, the software will work uninterrupted. Once the subscription period ends, the software will stop working.

BricsCAD offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. However, our unique selling proposition (USP) is in promoting perpetual licenses.

We believe that offering a dual or flexible license model gives customers the choice to opt for either type of license.

BricsCAD is all about giving choice to the user.

There is also a third license type we offer, which combines Perpetual licenses with an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) or Maintenance Plan.

In India, the term AMC is commonly used. With the AMC or Maintenance Plan, you are entitled to receive all major and minor updates of BricsCAD at no additional cost. If you purchase BricsCAD with an AMC today (July 2023) and the current version is 23, you will receive updates and upgrades until July 2024, covering a one-year period. You can also purchase maintenance plans for multiple years.

Typically, Bricsys releases a new major release in the month of October. So, a 1-year Maintenance plan will ensure that you get the next major release of BricsCAD covered in your purchase.

We strongly encourage our users to opt for perpetual licenses and keep their AMC or maintenance plans active.

This ensures that you have uninterrupted access to your CAD software, as it will never expire. Additionally, by purchasing an AMC or maintenance plan, you will receive all major and minor upgrades without any issues.

In conclusion, I hope this explanation clarifies the differences between perpetual, subscription, and perpetual licenses with an AMC or maintenance plan. Thank you.
