Plans & Pricing
Choosing your software is just the first step of the process. Now it’s time to choose a license that meets your needs: Use this guide to help you understand your software usage needs and the plan type that’s right for you. Finally, learn about the Rocscience Maintenance Plan and the benefits you’ll get from subscribing.
Usage: Personal
or Flexible
We offer two usage options for customers, the Personal license or the Flexible license. You’ll know which option is right for you based on the size of your business and the number of users that will need to have access to the software.
Software Usage Comparison
The Personal license is the best choice for a small office where your software needs to be used on only one computer. The Personal license is node-locked and can be installed on just one device.
The Flexible license is best for a larger office or for companies that have multiple users sharing software licensing through their server. The software can be installed on any number of computers and the number of concurrent users is respective to the number of licenses purchased. The users access the license file on the server, but the software runs from the user’s computer.

Plans: Annual Lease
or Perpetual
To own or to lease? The question is for more than just cars. We’re happy to offer both Perpetual and Lease plans for your software. Learn more about the differences and benefits of each plan while you sort out which one is right for you.
Software Plans Comparison
Perpetual is our most popular plan: it’s the one we’ve offered since the very first software we ever sold. With Perpetual, you’ll purchase your software outright and you’ll own your license in perpetuity, even after new versions of the software come out. To keep your software up to date with the newest upgrades and with technical support, we recommend pairing your Perpetual plan with the Rocscience Maintenance Plan to get the most value out of your investment.
When you Lease your software, you're subscribing to use the software on an annual basis. You’ll have full access to the software, technical support, and upgrades, all for much less than the cost of a Perpetual license. However, once you stop paying for your lease, you won’t have access to the software anymore.

The Rocscience

If you’re looking for the most value out of your software purchase, we recommend the Rocscience Maintenance Plan.
