Buy Vectorworks perpetual licences

Design and BIM software for architecture, landscape and entertainment — verified 2ndhand perpetual licences, since new sales are ending in 2026. Certified EU reseller.

New perpetual Vectorworks licences are ending

Vectorworks has already moved to subscription-only for new purchases in most markets, and standalone perpetual licence sales end entirely by the close of 2026 — from 2027, subscription will be the only option. If you want a Vectorworks licence on a perpetual basis, a verified 2ndhand licence from us — legally transferred and documented — is how to get one.

About Vectorworks

Vectorworks, Inc. was founded in 1985 by Richard Diehl as Diehl Graphsoft, originally releasing the MiniCAD software for Macintosh. The company is headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, and has operated as an independent subsidiary of the German Nemetschek Group since being acquired in 2000, rebranding to its current name in 2016.

Vectorworks software is used across architecture, landscape design, and entertainment and event design.

FAQ

Vectorworks questions

Can I still buy a new perpetual Vectorworks licence?
Not for much longer from Vectorworks directly — standalone perpetual licence sales have already ended in most markets and are scheduled to end entirely by the close of 2026, with subscription becoming the only option from 2027. We supply verified 2ndhand perpetual licences instead.
What happens to existing Vectorworks perpetual licences?
If you already hold one with an active Service Select agreement, your usage rights and access continue as before for as long as that agreement stays active.
Is a resold Vectorworks 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.
Is Vectorworks the same company as Nemetschek?
Vectorworks operates as an independent subsidiary of the Nemetschek Group, a publicly traded German company (Frankfurt: NEM) that also owns Allplan and Graphisoft (Archicad).
What industries use Vectorworks?
Architecture, landscape design, and entertainment/event design are Vectorworks' primary markets.
