Site & Seat (Network) Licences

A network licence allows a customer to install DesignBuilder licence server software on a single server machine. This machine then distributes module seat licences to the various computers on a shared network. Licencing of off-site machines is possible using VPN and similar technology, and is allowed by the licence agreement.

Pricing is "per seat" with the exception of the site network licence for the server. For further information and pricing, please contact our sales department -

Annual vs Perpetual

DesignBuilder (in all formats above) is licensed to the user on either an annual or a perpetual basis.

  • Annual licences require renewal each year. Users are eligible for all upgrades on the modules that they have purchased, for free.
  • COVID-19 Update: To assist our customers in these difficult times we also offer 3-month and 6-month licences, priced at 25% and 50% of the annual price respectively. This presents a reduced cash flow requirement and reduced risk, without any loss in value-for-money.
  • A perpetual licence is paid for only once. There is no additional or annual cost involved after the initial purchase. The customer can download all upgrades within the same major release, for free. For instance, should you buy DesignBuilder V6.0, all subsequent V6.x upgrades of the modules you initially bought are available at no additional cost.
