Important note

Lumion 2024 is a professional rendering and architectural visualization tool, so it requires models previously created in compatible 3D or CAD/BIM software. It does not replace modeling programs such as SketchUp, Revit, Archicad, Rhino, or 3ds Max; it functions as a platform to import, set up, light, render, and present projects.

Performance depends mainly on the graphics card, VRAM, RAM, model complexity, amount of vegetation, materials, textures, effects, output resolution, and render settings. For professional work, it is recommended to use a PC with a powerful dedicated GPU and updated drivers.

In real architectural, interior design, landscaping, construction, or commercial presentation projects, it is recommended to review scale, materials, lighting, cameras, vegetation, walkthroughs, resolution, and render times before delivering final images or videos to clients.

Differences between alternative license and original license

This information is included so that the client 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, one-time payment license without monthly or annual subscriptions. It allows functional use of the program to import models, create scenes, apply materials, configure lighting, generate renders, produce videos, prepare walkthroughs, and develop architectural visualizations from the computer where it is installed. It does not include official updates, complete online services, official Lumion support, downloads from a personal account, official online content, corporate licenses, or linkage to personal or business accounts of the manufacturer. Linking accounts, manually updating, or modifying the program may affect activation and require additional technical assistance at a cost.

Original license: is the official option from the manufacturer. It includes access to full features according to the contracted plan, an official account, available updates, official content, online services, formal licensing, business compatibility, and official support. Its cost is usually higher and it can operate under a subscription, professional license, annual plan, educational license, update, or modality defined by Lumion.

For business, corporate, governmental, construction, academic, commercial, or institutional use, Luctecno recommends original licenses, as they are the appropriate option to comply with best practices, audits, formal support, official compatibility, operational continuity, and higher professional demands.

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