From perpetual license to subscription, how it works

Going from a perpetual license to subscription is straightforward and easy.

This will allow you to install the latest version of Modaris or Gerber AccuMark on the spot. There will be no need to re-adapt since your software will retain the same functional scope as your current one.

Additionally, you will no longer face the risk of losing and damaging your dongle, since you will be given a digital key for each new license.

Testimonials

Nancy Reyes

Director of Product Development, Boardriders (Quicksilver, Billabong, ROXY, DC Shoes, Element...)
The Boardriders family of brands opted for the Gerber AccuMark subscription licensing because it enables us to acquire the necessary number of user licenses on a tight budget. We can also adjust the number of licenses based on our capacity requirements. Finally, some of our Gerber AccuMark users need remote access while working from home or travelling. The subscription model allows that with minimal prerequisites from an IT perspective.
