Straight answers.

The questions machinists actually ask.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 30 days, full-featured. A credit card is required to activate the trial (to prevent abuse), but you won't be charged until the trial ends. You can also download and run JetCad3 in read-only mode for free with no account at all — useful for evaluating the interface before committing.

How does licensing work?

Your subscription delivers a product key by email. Enter it once to activate, and JetCad3 runs fully offline from that point — no internet connection required, no phone-home. If your subscription lapses, the software stops accepting new activations but existing activated installs continue to work through the current billing period.

What happens to my files if I cancel?

Nothing. JetCad3 saves to your local machine in standard formats — STEP, STL, 3MF, DXF. Your files don't live in anyone's cloud. They're yours regardless of your subscription status.

When is CAM coming?

Plasma & Laser CAM comes first, followed by Mill & Turning. Both are in active development. Subscribe to Drafting now and you'll be notified when each tier launches. Existing subscribers will get a discounted upgrade path.

Does JetCad3 need an internet connection to run?

No. Activation requires a one-time internet connection to validate your product key. After that, the software runs completely offline. No cloud sync, no telemetry, no files leaving your machine.

Does the Windows .exe require admin rights or an installer?

Neither. It's a single self-contained executable. Put it anywhere — a USB drive, your desktop, a network share — and double-click. No installer, no admin prompt, no IT department involved.

Can I use JetCad3 on multiple machines?

Yes. Your subscription covers all machines you personally use. Activate on any machine by entering your product key. If you need to move to a new machine, deactivate the old one from your account dashboard.
