What are the license type and terms?
The license is perpetual, tied to one piece of hardware (machine). If the machine is formatted for any reason, the license will have to be reactivated (not repurchased). You can reactivate it by using the same key as provided at the time of purchase and repeating the same steps as used for the first-time activation
Can I shift my license to other machines?
Our licenses are only activated once for one and only one hardware. You won’t be able to transfer this license to any other machine regardless of the reason (machine crash, hardware fault etc.). You will have to purchase a new license if you want to run this plugin on any other machine.
What about future updates of plugins or our CAD software? Are they included? Do we need to buy again, if the plugin is updated or there is a new version?
How will I receive the license?
- Your product activation key will be sent via email as soon as you complete the payment process.
- You may sometimes not get the invoice or license activation key immediately after your payment. There can be many reasons for it – some of them are as below:
- The transaction is still in process between various payment gateways.
- Even though you might have got a confirmation of payment processed, we might not have received the payment.
- The email might have been blocked by your spam server. Also, please note that the invoice and license email will be sent to the email id associated with your PayPal/payment gateway.
- Delays or technical issues with payment notification or email servers.

- The Internet connection is required only once for activation.
- Plugin licensing mechanism need to access “https://spreadsheets.google.com” during online license activation.

- If this link is not accessible due to non-availability of internet connection or some restriction by firewall rules, then manual license activation will be required.
- Manual license activation charges will be extra 30 USD. (i.e. Actual Plugin Cost + 30 USD)
