SOLIDWORKS perpetual licences are still sold — but 2ndhand is faster and cheaper

Dassault Systèmes still sells new SOLIDWORKS perpetual licences, unlike vendors who have moved entirely to subscription. New purchases, though, come with a mandatory subscription service period attached. A verified 2ndhand licence from us carries the same perpetual usage rights, is available immediately, and typically costs less.

FAQ

Dassault Systèmes questions

Can I still buy a new perpetual SOLIDWORKS licence?

Yes — unlike some CAD vendors, Dassault Systèmes still sells new SOLIDWORKS perpetual licences, though new purchases require a mandatory subscription service period. A 2ndhand perpetual licence from us doesn't carry that requirement.

Why buy a 2ndhand SOLIDWORKS licence instead of new?

Cost and immediate availability. A verified 2ndhand licence gives you the same perpetual usage rights at a lower price, without waiting on a new order.

Is a resold SOLIDWORKS licence legal?

Yes. The Court of Justice of the EU confirmed in UsedSoft v Oracle (C-128/11, 2012) that a lawfully sold software licence can legally be resold within the EU.

Does CAD-Software sell CATIA licences too?

Dassault Systèmes' CATIA is aimed primarily at large aerospace and automotive enterprises with direct vendor relationships. Our current stock is focused on SOLIDWORKS — contact us to check CATIA availability.

What happens to SOLIDWORKS support after buying 2ndhand?

The licence itself keeps working on the version you buy. Ongoing subscription service (updates, support) is a separate, optional purchase you can add through Dassault Systèmes if you want it.
