You can upgrade to the latest version of the software for the same price, regardless of the version you are currently running. For example, the price to upgrade to the latest version of the software if the same, regardless of whether you are upgrading from version 4.0 or 11.0.

When there is a new release do I have to upgrade?
No – you do not have to upgrade.
If a new version is released within the first 12 months of ownership, you get the upgrade for free. Customers outside of this period can evaluate the new features (with the free trial download) and decide if they want to pay to upgrade or not.

If I don’t upgrade for say 5 years then chose to upgrade what will it cost?
If you chose not to upgrade for several years, unlike many software companies, we do not ask for back-payments, you just pay the standard upgrade cost for your specific program and this will enable you to jump to the latest release. For example whether you are upgrading from version 4 to version 11 or from version 8 to version 11 you will pay the same price.

How many computers can I use the software on?
Vectric's license allows any of our software programs to be installed on up to 3 PCs for a single user.
If access to any one of the computers is shared with work colleagues or anyone who is likely to access the software, then the software must only be installed onto one computer.
We have many users who have the software installed on their main design pc, the computer attached to their CNC and a laptop. As long as these three systems are only used by the same single user, this is completely legal.
What are the limitations of the Free Trials?
The Trial Versions will let you use all functions within the software with the exception of saving the toolpaths and performing some Export functions.
The Pro Versions of the Trials also do not allow you to use additional Gadgets.
There are a collection of special "trial version specific" files made available for each program that are setup so you can save the toolpaths from them and verify compatibility with your CNC machine by actually machining the samples.
