Questions
Who needs a Studio License?
A company, studio or team where two or more people use Surface3D, or where it runs on computers the company provides. Working alone, even for paying clients, stays free. If you work as part of a team, you need a Studio License.
Can a studio try it first?
Yes. Studios can evaluate Surface3D for 30 days before buying.
Schools and non-profits?
Ask for a free or reduced Studio License.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once per seat and keep using your version forever. The first year of updates is included; after that, renewing is optional.
What does renewing cost?
Per seat, for one more year of updates. Indie studio: $49 on time, $89 late. Studio: $99 on time, $179 late. On time means before your update year ends.
What if we don't renew?
You keep every version from your covered period. Your work is never locked if you don't renew.
What does a seat mean?
One named person or one workstation.
What support comes with a license?
Support is included for as long as your updates are covered: the first year, and every year you renew. Email or Discord help with installing, setup and using Surface3D. Bug reports from licensed studios are looked at first and fixes ship in regular updates.
Indie studio licenses get priority replies. Studio licenses also get direct contact with the developer and can request features for their workflow.
Free users are helped in the Discord community.
