What is Term Licensing?
Term Licensing is for individuals and companies that want access to SOLIDWORKS best-in-class design solutions with lower upfront costs compared to traditional perpetual licensing.
With a term license you can use SOLIDWORKS products with a quarterly subscription. A term license gives SOLIDWORKS users access to a variety of SOLIDWORKS applications with the same full version as a perpetual license — but with a flexible and affordable approach that’s easy on a software budget and easy to manage.
Why Rent SOLIDWORKS?
SOLIDWORKS Term Licenses are ideal for companies that need to maximize their cash flow, this could include the following:
- Licenses are required for short term projects or for the specific phase of a project where specific software such as simulation is needed to validate a design.
- Licenses are to meet staffing requirements such as contract staff or intern that require SOLIDWORKS for a short time period.
- A new division or project has been initiated and cash-flow is a concern.
- A start-up/new business requires SOLIDWORKS software at the minimum cost to get started.
- Companies that need technical support and upgrades with their SOLIDWORKS license (Subscription Service is included with a term license)

SOLIDWORKS Term License Advantages
Lower Upfront Cost
Start-ups, makers, individuals and small business often have cash flow constraints.
SOLIDWORKS Term Licensing allows companies to design new products with the world’s most widely used CAD software without the traditionally higher upfront costs of perpetual licenses.
Budgeting
From year-to-year, your software budgets can change drastically.
SOLIDWORKS Term Licensing can increase budget flexibility as you can spread the cost of your CAD software over multiple years and calculate exactly how much you will pay.
Flexibility & Scalability
Companies have fluctuating workforces with turnover and temporary employees or interns. Having the right tools for everybody can be challenging.
With SOLIDWORKS Term Licensing, companies can purchase explicit numbers of seats based on their needs. They can also choose term lengths that match their product or project schedules.
