Cost of SOLIDWORKS - Rental vs Perpetual Licences

What to Consider when Choosing Rental Licencing?

When buying SOLIDWORKS, you'll need to decide if you want to rent the software or purchase an indefinite expiry or perpetual license. Typically rental licencing becomes less cost-effective than perpetual after three years.

It should be noted that you can mix and match license models, so perhaps perpetual licensing is best for your sustained business requirements but when there will be an increase in output needed, rental licensing can meet a short term demand.

The options for SOLIDWORKS are flexible. Prefer to pay for your software over time? Speak with our team about payment plans on offer for SOLIDWORKS.
