How licenses work

Applies from version 1.0. Only editing requires a seat.

Viewing
Opening, viewing, measuring, printing and exporting require no license.
Seat
Assigned to a user, not a computer. Editing on a second computer moves the seat there; the first computer can keep editing for 15 minutes.
Perpetual
Covers every version released during the updates period. When updates lapse, the last covered version keeps running with no time limit.
Renewal
$50 for one year, up to 30 days after updates end. After that, $100, and the year starts on the payment date. No back fees.
Trial
30 days of use; only days with an edit count. Expires one year after it starts. Requires an account.
Offline
Editing continues for 7 days without a connection to the license server. A seat can be borrowed for up to 30 days.
Save
Always available, with or without a seat.
Files
Not tied to a license. Files created during a trial are ordinary files.
Floating seats
A pool of seats shared by more users than seats. Planned after 1.0; price to be announced.
Offline activation
Node-locked activation for computers without internet access, and an on-premises license server for isolated networks. Planned after 1.0.

Questions

Can I use the pre-release for paid work?

Yes. The pre-release is free for any use, including commercial work.

Is it a subscription?

No. A license is a one-time purchase and includes one year of updates. Updates after that are $50 a year. Without them, the last version released in the updates period keeps running.

How many computers can I install it on?

Any number. A seat edits on one computer at a time.

What happens to my files after a trial?

Nothing. They open, print and export as before, and can be edited again with a license.

What if the license server shuts down for good?

If it is shut down permanently, a version or key that needs no server is released, so licensed users keep working. Section 3.5 of the license agreement commits to this.
