How punch!CAD licences work

Every ViaCAD® and SharkCAD® licence is for one platform. Windows and Mac are sold separately at the same price, so choose the one you will install on.

Own it

One payment and the software is yours on one computer for as long as your system supports it. Twelve months of maintenance and support are included; after that you can renew for 25% of the list price per year, or upgrade at a discount any time within five years.

Term licences

One- or three-year terms cost less up front and include every update and upgrade released while the term is active. The three-year term locks the price for the whole term.

Companion and floating licences

A companion licence lets the same person install a second copy — say at work and at home — for 50% of the list price. A floating licence is priced per seat at 1.5× list: up to two installations, one user at a time, and no licence server to run. Both are arranged by our sales team.

Refunds

A full refund is available within 30 days of purchase on any licence that has not been activated. Activated licences cannot be refunded, so compare the editions — or call us — before you activate.
