Licensing

Yes, the GreenCAD license is a perpetual license. This means:

  • (a) You pay a one-time fee and may use the specific version you purchased indefinitely.
  • (b) The license has no expiry date and requires no recurring annual fees or subscriptions.
  • (c) The licensed software version will run for as long as your hardware and operating system support it.
  • (d) You are not obliged to purchase upgrades to newer versions.

For more details, please refer to our EULA and Terms & Conditions.

As stated in the GreenCAD license agreement, it is a perpetual license. Hence:

  • (a) No renewal fees or annual fees are required.
  • (b) The license is a one-time payment.
  • (c) The GreenCAD license DOES NOT have an expiry date.

No. A perpetual license grants you the right to use the specific version you purchased at the time of purchase/activation. It does NOT include free upgrades to future major versions.

  • (a) Your license remains valid for the version you purchased (e.g., GreenCAD 2027) for as long as your hardware and operating system support it.
  • (b) Updates (minor patches, bug fixes) may be provided at no additional cost.
  • (c) Upgrades (new major versions, e.g., from 2027 to 2028) are not included and require an additional purchase.
  • (d) You may be offered discounted upgrade pricing, but this is not guaranteed and is at the developer's discretion.

In short: you own the version you bought forever, but if you want the next major version, you pay for it.

Transfer: Licenses may be transferred to another party only with the prior written consent of the software developer, as stated in the EULA (§2.c). Please contact us if you wish to request a license transfer.

Resale: Licenses cannot be resold. Once a license is purchased and activated for a particular company or person, it belongs to that entity and may not be re-sold.
