Differences between alternative license and original license

This information is included so that the customer clearly understands what type of license they are acquiring and what functions they can expect depending on the chosen option.

Alternative license: is a non-original license, with a one-time payment and no monthly or annual subscriptions. It allows functional use of the program to create, edit, save, and work on projects from the computer where it is installed. It does not include official updates, artificial intelligence features, cloud services, or linking to personal manufacturer accounts. Linking accounts, manually updating, or modifying the program may affect activation and require additional paid technical assistance.

Original license: is the official manufacturer option. It includes access to full features according to the contracted plan, official account, online services, updates, AI features when available, and official support. Its cost is usually higher and it normally operates under monthly or annual plans with an expiration date.

For business, corporate, governmental, or institutional use, Luctecno recommends original licenses, as they are the appropriate option to meet best practices, audits, formal support, and more demanding professional needs.

Note: These licenses are linked to the computer where they are installed and are not transferable.
