Can I rent SOLIDWORKS?

Yes! SOLIDWORKS now offers term licenses, which gives you the flexibility to choose from either 3- or 12-month term contracts. This allows you to take advantage of lower upfront costs. Term licenses are a good solution if you hire interns or contract workers who will only need to use the software for a limited time.

Full subscription benefits, including technical support, is included with term licenses.

How does SOLIDWORKS licensing work?

SOLIDWORKS offers both term licenses – where you are essentially renting the software for 3 or 12 months – and perpetual licenses, where you own the software and can add subscription to keep the licenses up to date. For perpetual licensing, there are three main options:

Standalone Licenses (installed on a specific computer)
Online Licenses (tied to a particular user)
Network Licenses (float between different users and computers on a specific network)
