DraftSight Offers Flexible CAD Licenses
Frustrated with your current provider that keeps increasing the CAD license price?

Other CAD Providers are Reducing Licensing Options
This change will impact companies using network licensing, as they will now have to purchase individual licenses for all users, increasing costs substantially.
For example: a team of 30 previously relying on 6 network licenses now will need to purchase 30 individual licenses.
DraftSight offers flexible network solutions for your team's needs.
Making the Switch from Another CAD to DraftSight
Why Use DraftSight? DraftSight offers flexible licensing options, allowing you to pool your network seats to keep your team properly licensed while maximizing resources.
DraftSight looks, feels, and performs like other CAD software, so you can transition smoothly and keep your productivity level up. Read the eBook on making the switch today and learn everything you need to know to be productive and transition quickly.

Do You Have Questions? We Have Answers!
DraftSight provides cost-effective access to essential 2D CAD software with diverse licensing options, unlike other providers that are moving towards named-user licensing models and discontinuing multi-user access. DraftSight is dedicated to providing customers with flexible licensing options, recognizing that the diversity of licensing models is critical for businesses seeking to manage costs and maximize productivity.
CAD licensing allows users to access computer-aided design software by purchasing a license, which grants them the legal right to use the software for a specific period or indefinitely, depending on the licensing agreement.
The number of CAD licenses required for a team depends on the size of the team. Typically, each team member who will be using the software simultaneously will require a separate license. Contact us to find the right CAD licensing for your team or read the blog, Which DraftSight Version is Right for You?
Yes, DraftSight’s licensing plans include options for named-user, network, and even perpetual licensing, allowing you to continue working in a manner that makes sense for you and your team.
Yes, contact us and talk to our sales team if you would like to upgrade your CAD license.

DraftSight Enterprise also includes technical support from SOLIDWORKS resellers to keep the software running smoothly and your team productive.
