Carbide Create Pro Expiring

[72begin (Bill Tumbleson)]

My Carbide Create Pro expiration date is coming up. Are my options to purchase a perpetual license, annual license or can it still be extended for another year for free ?

Thanks,

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

That is a question for @robgrz — hopefully he can speak to this.

Will:

Thanks Will. I thought I was just missing something in large bold print which had been posted elsewhere.

We’re trying to get purchasing setup in the next few days. If Pro begins expiring before we get it up and running then we can give you an additional code to keep things moving for a little longer.

Can you give some guidance on pricing?

For pricing discussion please see:

Carbide Create Pro- What do you want to see?

Here’s where our internal pricing discussion went: Vectric Aspire is in the $2000 range plus $400 per update which is every year or two. We’d like to get close to Aspire in terms of features but realistically, that will take some time. For now we’d like to target a “price” of around $750 for Carbide Create Pro, or about a third of Aspire. We do not like the versioned releases with costs to update (V1, V2, V3…) so a subscription works better for us. Based on almost everything we’ve seen other …

[robgrz (Rob Grzesek (Carbide 3D))]

We’re still targeting the same pricing we initially talked about. $120/yr or $360 perpetual with 1 year of updates.

My trial just expired also but I thought Pro was great - please take my money

Is there an accommodation to turn the Pro trial off before expiration?

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

No, the Pro trial or license runs based on the real world clock insofar as the programmers were able to make that happen.

Please ask us at support@carbide3d.com about any aspects of licensing and we’ll do our best let you know the specifics.
