Effective July 1, 2025, Microvellum will transition to a 100% subscription-based licensing model for all new software products.
We know this is a big change and you may have questions. To help, we’ve answered some of the most common ones below.
General Changes
Q1: What is changing with Microvellum’s software licensing model?
Beginning July 1, 2025, Microvellum will move to a 100% subscription-based model for all new software products, including bundles, modules, and data libraries. No new perpetual licenses will be issued after this date.
Q2: Why is Microvellum making this change?
We’re making the shift to a subscription-based model to align with how our clients increasingly prefer to license software. This change will help us simplify our accounting processes, unify our licensing under a single model, and make it easier and more cost-effective for both existing and new customers to access our products.
For Existing Customers
Q3: I currently have a perpetual license—will this change affect me?
No. All existing perpetual licenses issued before July 1, 2025, will remain valid and continue to function under their existing terms. However, new features, modules, and product library data released after this date will only be accessible via a subscription.
Q4: Can I still purchase perpetual licenses before July 1, 2025?
Yes. Any proposal or order that is fully executed before July 1, 2025, will be honored. Unexecuted proposals involving perpetual licenses will be canceled after this date and may be reissued under the new subscription terms. To ensure smooth transitions and compatibility with future sales processes, we recommend moving forward with the subscription model as soon as possible.
Q5: What happens to my existing payment plans or leasing agreements?
Any payment plans, leases, or lending arrangements entered into before July 1, 2025, will remain in effect unless amended by mutual written agreement.
