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 features they can expect depending on the chosen option.
Alternative license: This is a non-original license, with a one-time payment and no monthly or annual subscriptions. It allows functional use of the program to 3D model, animate scenes, apply materials, work with simulations, save projects, and generate renders from the installed computer. It does not include official updates, artificial intelligence features, cloud services, downloads from a personal account, or linking with the manufacturer's personal accounts. Linking accounts, manually updating, or modifying the program may affect activation and require additional technical assistance at a cost.
Original license: This is the official option from the manufacturer. It includes access to full features according to the contracted plan, an official account, online services, updates, AI features when available, officially acquired compatible content, and official support. Its cost is usually higher and it normally works 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 comply with best practices, audits, formal support, and more demanding professional needs.
Note: These licenses are tied to the computer where they are installed and are not transferable.
