Key Based is the simplest option, tied to one PC. Network Floating lets several users share a license pool on a network. Live License activates online and can be moved between machines. Dongle Based ships a physical USB key so the license travels with the dongle instead of the PC.
Key Based and Live licenses can be deactivated on one machine and reactivated on another through your ActCAD account. Dongle licenses simply move with the physical dongle. Contact our team if you need help with a transfer.
If you already own a previous ActCAD version, select the matching "Upgrade from ActCAD 2026" or "Upgrade from ActCAD 2025 or Older" option and enter your existing license key or registered email at checkout so we can verify it.
All ActCAD 2027 editions run on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit).
