We provide subscriptions that run for either one year or three years. During the duration of the subscription, you receive free technical support and free upgrades.
- One-Year Subscription: You can use nanoCAD for one year, as well as receive, at no charge, all upgrades released during the year. After the year ends, the software stops working; to continue using nanoCAD, renew the license.
- Three-Year Subscription: Includes a perpetual license. You can use it forever. Technical support and upgrades to new versions are free during those three years, after which you can purchase a one- or three-year subscription to receive ongoing updates and technical support.
nanoCAD was previously split into several products, each requiring a separate download. If you needed, for example, nanoCAD Construction and nanoCAD Mechanica, then you had to buy a license for each product at full cost, and then download both of them.
As of nanoCAD 21, you can acquire any module you are interested in, paying only the price of the module itself, and then downloading the module. You run all purchased modules with a single nanoCAD license.
The nanoCAD platform consists of the following add-on modules:
- 3D Solid Modeling – for advanced 3D modeling
- Construction – for architecture and construction
- Mechanica – for 2D and 3D mechanical design
- Raster – for advanced editing scanned images
- Topoplan – for topographical reliefs and mapping
Yes. We provide students and teachers with free licenses to the latest release of the nanoCAD platform and the full set of add-on modules. To learn more about being eligible for the education license, check out the nanoCAD for Studentspage.
