Frequently Asked Questions
Is the upgrade a permanent license?
Yes, you are purchasing a permanent license for your chosen product with the exception of Mari. Mari is only offered as a subscription, not permanent so the license will need to be renewed annually for continued access. For all other products, the permanent licenses do not expire, so you will always be able to run versions of the application that were released before your maintenance expiry date. If you do not renew your maintenance then you won’t be able to run versions released after the maintenance date.
I don't have a Student or Graduate license. Can I purchase a discounted commercial upgrade?
No, we do require you to have a Student or Graduate license that was active within the last 6 months to qualify for the discounted upgrade.
I graduated more than 6 months ago. Can I purchase a discounted commercial upgrade?
Please email us at education@foundry.com and we can discuss options with you.
I'm a Faculty member. Can I purchase a discounted commercial upgrade?
Faculty members do not qualify for the commercial upgrade. Instead you can apply for a Faculty license here.
Is it possible to install and uninstall the license on different computers?
With a node-locked license, you can only switch to another computer once a year for free if your license is on maintenance. If you wish to transfer your license to another machine, please email sales@foundry.com.
How should I return the signed quote? Digitally or via Post?
Please return the signed quote by email.
Can I pay with Paypal?
We do not accept Paypal payment. We offer two payment options: bank transfer or card payment through a link that we send you upon request.
