How Mech-Q Licensing Aligns with AutoCAD Subscriptions
AutoCAD is now licensed exclusively by subscription, with frequent new releases. Because Mech-Q runs inside AutoCAD, the most practical way to license Mech-Q often depends on how often you upgrade AutoCAD itself.
If you regularly upgrade to new AutoCAD versions, a Mech-Q subscription can be the most convenient option. Subscriptions keep Mech-Q current automatically, and renewal dates can be synchronized with your Autodesk renewal, if desired. Please contact us for a quote.
If you plan to stay on a specific AutoCAD version for multiple years, a perpetual Mech-Q license often provides the best long-term value — allowing you to own the software and avoid ongoing payments.
Which Mech-Q Licensing Option Is Right for You?
| Your Workflow | Best Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You upgrade AutoCAD every year | Subscription (Monthly or Yearly) | Always current, no separate upgrade decisions |
| You want renewals aligned with Autodesk | Subscription | Renewal dates can be synchronized |
| You stay on one AutoCAD version long-term | Perpetual License | One-time purchase, no ongoing fees |
| You value stability and ownership | Perpetual License | Predictable costs, continued use |
In short:
Subscription works best when AutoCAD is upgraded frequently.
Perpetual licensing is ideal when you plan to stay on a specific AutoCAD version for several years.
