Circle Membership

This is not just an annual subscription with an annualized upgrade program. Software development is a continuous process, listening to the users' needs besides other criteria. To support your business in an optimal way, we want to give you the newest features when they are ready to go and not collected over a long time period. The advantage is obvious: you get the enhancements in smaller portions, which needs less training than a big upgrade. The result is a fast integration of the new features in your daily routine: you gain much more than with an traditional upgrade cycle.

And you save money with the Circle Membership: compared to the standard upgrade price for the next 'number' upgrade you save about ten percent. Plus the benefits such as prioritized support, live update service, and online "Netviewer" support to your computer on your desk. With the membership you have access to the exclusive Circle-Portal, a website area with continuously added services such as Reflexe Tutorials, download pages of 2D/3D symbols, line type and hatch styles, textures, images and an user exchange area for building components and more.

Circle Membership = Advantages in technology, service, and cost

What are the costs of the Circle Membership?

1 year Circle Membership per license is about 15 % of the actual software list price and 10 % less than the normal upgrade price. Ask your dealer or us for the actual conditions.

When can I start with the Circle Membership?

You can start any time with the membership per license within the first year after purchase (it would be best to sign up with the purchase of the software). Now your software is enrolled for the next twelve months and you get all updates and upgrades plus all the other benefits automatically.

What happens when I want to start with the membership after the first year?

You have to upgrade to the actual version first before you can join the Circle. You will understand this, because users with membership have paid their fees continuously and it would be an unacceptable advantage for you to leap frog this. It is like this: joining the Circle a year later, you will get all enhancements, developments, and upgrades at once, and you have to pay this to be up-to-date. It is like a payment with a late fee. Now you could argue to wait with joining the Circle until you identify developments in the software you like and need - so you are not taking any risk. Good point, but you will miss the chance to gain a lot out of the software, you will not be able to take more than a low percentage of the new features in you daily routine, it will too much, and running your business you never will have the time to do the necessary intense training.

Circle Membership = Guarantee for optimal support for your business

What is the difference to a user without Circle Membership?

Let us see this from his point of view: his software is 'static' after the purchase until a new 'number' upgrade will be released. Then he has to buy in the offered upgrade for a higher price than the Circle Membership one. But the most drawback is: he missed all enhancements over the last twelve months.
