Pix4D License Types

Pix4D offers various types of licenses, including subscriptions, rentals, and OTC. This article provides a detailed explanation of the differences between these types of licenses.

Introduction

Pix4D offers different types of licenses in order to adapt to different user needs and workflows.

Plan licenses

Plan licenses are the easiest way to get a license for any Pix4D product. Plans can be started directly from our e-commerce webpage. The licenses are renewed automatically after the end of the plan period. If you don't want the license to automatically renew, you can cancel the plan using this procedure: How to cancel a subscription plan.

Note: A plan can be canceled at any time without waiting for the end of the renewal period. Even if cancellation occurs during the validity period, the software remains accessible until the final day of validity.

Plan licenses are ideal for long-term projects, for maintaining active licenses without the need for manual renewal, or for cases requiring full control over license management, provided the Organization Management Role permits it.

Plan licenses do not require redemption, as they are automatically assigned to the selected organization at checkout.

Technical support is assured for the entire validity period of a plan.

Rental licenses

Rental licenses are offered from direct sales or resellers. The validity period is defined, and the rental licenses do not auto-renew at the end of the period.

These licenses must be redeemed using the license key: How to redeem Pix4D license keys.

Rental licenses are ideal for short-term projects.

Technical support is assured for the entire validity period of a rental license.

One-Time Charge (OTC) licenses

One-Time Charge (OTC) licenses are licenses that do not require renewal. These licenses give access to a specific version of a Pix4D software for an undefined period of time. However, the proper functioning of the software is ensured only for the latest version available.

Note: OTC licenses are not available for PIX4Dcatch and PIX4Dcloud.

OTC licenses can be combined with Support and Upgrades (S&U). A valid S&U gives access to personal technical support and to the latest product versions as soon as they are released. S&U needs to be renewed manually every year (How to renew Support and Upgrades).

Technical support is provided as long as there is an active S&U and the last version of the software is used.
