How much for a DeskProto license
All prices are in US Dollars.
Each DeskProto license can be used on all supported Operating Systems: Windows, MacOS and Linux. So no need to buy an new license when you switch to a different OS.
These prices are including all options, and free email support (except for the hobby license). The license that you will receive is 'perpetual': we do not ask any annual maintenance fee.
DeskProto orders need to be processed manually, to check if the license type applies. This means that after ordering it will take one or even a few days before your license is emailed to you. Our apologies for this small delay.
As the software can be downloaded, shipment costs do not apply - except for the optional box with printed manual and backup CD.
Commercial Licenses
DeskProto is created with the idea to make 3D CNC machining possible for any 3D CAD-user, not only for the large companies with their large budgets. To make this possible prices start at a very low level. You can order using the online store, calling in a payment over the phone or requesting an invoice for a purchase order.

A Hobby license is a full-featured license. The price is much lower: 25% of the full price, so a 75% discount! Some restrictions apply.
• A hobby license may be bought only by a private person, not by a company (also not by an employee or owner acting as a private person but in fact buying for the company).
• A hobby license may not be used for commercial purposes. However, commercial activities that generate less than $3,500 in annual revenue are considered to be a hobby business and are permitted with a hobby license. When the revenue grows above this limit it is needed to purchase an upgrade to a commercial license (the upgrade price is exactly the price difference between both licenses).
• For hobby licenses the free support by telephone and email does not apply: use the Forum instead.
• A hobby license may be sold or transferred only to a hobby user.
An Educational license also is a full-featured license: only the price is lower than for a commercial license. Much lower: educational discount on DP Full is 75%. Educational licenses are available only to students, teachers and schools. A proof is required, like a dated student ID card.
• An educational license may not be used for commercial applications. However, applications that generate less than $3,500 in annual revenue are considered to be a hobby business (see above) and are permitted with an educational license.
• An educational license may be sold or transferred only to an educational user.
