Schematic drawing, terminal and wire schedules and symbol authoring in every licence — with the full publishing suite in PRO. All of it perpetual: no renewal date, no seat audit, no feature that switches itself off because an invoice lapsed. Draw at any size up to A0.
01 · Licences
Every one is a one-time purchase. What separates the commercial tiers is how much drawing you do, and whether you want the advanced Publisher Tools: a Web Portal for the workshop floor, and finished documentation for your customers. STD carries the first of them, Smart PDF; PRO carries the full set.
Prove it on a real circuit before you spend anything.
Hobby panels, restoration projects, teaching yourself the trade.
The sole trader and the small controls shop. Clean drawings out the door.
Machine builders and integrators who hand a documented panel to a customer.
Most engineers draw at a bench and review on a laptop. Add a second key to your order for 25% more and the same person gets both machines — the bench and the laptop. It goes on the original order only, so decide when you buy.
02 · In every licence
These are the parts of the tool you would resent paying extra for, so you do not. A £95 HOME licence draws with the same engine as an £895 one. The Web Portal and DXF Portfolio are PRO only, and not in HOME or STD at any price. STD carries one publisher tool, Smart PDF, so a commercial pack goes out navigable. An evaluation does not publish either — it is there to let you draw with the tool, not to hand work to a customer.
The complete authoring tool, including DXF import and export. Build your own library and take it with you.
Any sheet size up to A0. If a job genuinely wants one enormous drawing, nothing stops you.
Wire, Cable and Terminal Schedules, Component List, Purchase List and Contact Cross-Reference — read from the drawing, not typed twice.
Your own borders and schedule forms, so the paperwork leaves the office looking like yours.
The Purchase List and Component List price the job off the same data the schematic already holds.
Every fix and improvement within your major version, for as long as that version is supported.

04 · The licence, in plain words
Each tier draws up to its sheet count and no further. There is no soft edge and no grace sheet, so choose the tier that matches the jobs you actually take on rather than the one you hope to grow into.
If the work outgrows it, moving up costs only the difference. Buying STD today and PRO whenever you actually need it costs no more than buying PRO outright — there is no window to miss.
And if 400 sheets is not enough, that is not the end of the road either: larger licences are issued on request. Tell us the size of the job and we will size one to it.
05 · Moving up
Start where you are today. When the work grows — next month or in five years — you pay the difference between what you paid and the higher tier's list price on the day. No deadline to beat, and never more than buying that tier outright. The figures below are today's.
Licences above 400 sheets are issued on request, as are educational and volume licences. Prices shown exclude VAT, which is added at checkout according to your location. An evaluation licence may be issued once per organisation.
