1. GUANGZHOU, China: August 12, 2015— Recently some CAD company
announced that it will gradually transform all new software purchase options
exclusively to Desktop Subscription. New perpetual licenses for individual software
products will not be offered for purchase after Jan 31, 2016. Against this
background, ZWSOFT here reassures that it will continue to provide perpetual license
and alerts users of the drawbacks of subscription.
Subscription causes additional cost over time.
The lower upfront cost doesn’t mean Subscription could ease cost burden, especially
when most companies in need of CAD programs have long-term needs. To get a
concrete idea about the price difference between ZWCAD+ and one mainstream
CAD, ZWSOFT can refer to the below chart.
Software is an asset to a business. Changing the licensing model is removing that
asset. Once stop paying, lose the ownership of the product and effectively have
nothing. Obviously, the new licensing model is clearly designed to drive a consistent
and dependant revenue stream by some CAD company. It gives them the power to
raise the prices even higher and users will have to pay it or lose access to their
software.

2. The advent of Subscription, to some degree, eliminates ZWSOFT choice of perpetual
license, but also, to some degree, gives ZWSOFT a chance to switch to other CAD
program. Because, there are some other great CAD software providers like ZWCAD
Design that will continue to provide perpetual license. Besides, ZWCAD+ is not only
a cost-effective program but also can fulfill almost all of the design needs, which
makes it a great alternative.
