NEW ZEALAND CUSTOMERS CAN NOW ENJOY THE FLEXIBILITY OF VECTORWORKS ON A SUBSCRIPTION BASIS
Vectorworks Subscriptions is our new licence rental program.
Monthly and yearly subscriptions are both available, so you can subscribe for as long as you need.
Monthly subscriptions are perfect for short-term needs, such as special projects or temporary staff. Your monthly subscription will be automatically renewed each month, but you have the flexibility to cancel up to four days before your renewal date to avoid the charges for the next billing cycle.
Yearly subscriptions are a cost-effective way to maintain a subscription for one full year. You will be billed once at the start of your subscription, and your yearly subscription will remain active for 12 months. The yearly subscription offers a 2-month discount over the rental subscription (pay for 10 months and get 12!). Your yearly subscription will automatically renew at the end of your one-year subscription term and you can cancel up to four days before your renewal date to avoid the charges on your next billing cycle.
A cancelled subscription can be reactivated at any time.
