When you buy a license for Proteus you own the license in perpetuity. It is not rented. This means that, even if you do not keep up to date with maintenance, you will always be able to use the version of the software you purchased. This is important because it protects your investment and ensures that the intellectual property that you design in Proteus can always be opened. More information can be found at:

For multi-user purchases we offer easy to use network licensing. This is a single server based license with a USB dongle is the easiest way to give the whole team the flexibility to use the software on the LAN. License compliance is automatic and self-managing, usage is limited to a single LAN subnet.
Cloud licensing is the best and most complete option for Enterprise and Education both. Administrators can log in to a simple website portal and set up login credentials for different groups of users. They can also create reservations to guarantee access at given times. Meanwhile, users can install the full professional software with no restrictions and then log on to Proteus with the credentials they have been given to access a seat. As students or staff move on the administrator simply changes the group passwords to restrict or grant access accordingly.
