Changes in licensing
- Discontinuing the SE and DE product lines. From now on, both the Unreal Engine integration and our native Aximmetry engine will be available in our Broadcast & Film (formerly: Broadcast) and Studio editions. Those looking for an install without the Unreal Engine can still do that by skipping this step in the setup process.
- Professional editions are being phased out. Clients using these editions have access to discounted upgrade options.
New support option - Maintenance+ plan
- When purchasing a new Aximmetry Broadcast & Film license, clients who also subscribe to the Maintenance+ plan are eligible for one 30-minute consultation per month with Aximmetry support during the first year of the plan.
- Lock in savings for a lifetime! - Clients who purchase the Maintenance+ plan immediately within 30 days of buying a Aximmetry Broadcast & Film license are eligible for a 10% discount on the Maintenance+ plan list price. This discounted rate remains fixed for as long as the client continuously maintains their Maintenance+ subscription.
These changes become effective on 28 August 2025.
Sorry, but as a professional license holder, it does not make any sense. Paying 3000 per license to upgrade to Broadcast, for something I really do not need, makes no sense.
This essentially means that if I cannot currently make any real use of the broadcast version, I must rely on the free and rental features for my actual professional work.
This might be a cheaper option, since I have seasonal needs and could rent features, but what would that mean for my two licenses?
Will they show up as the Studio version? Like I never paid for them?
Will they have the pro features until I upgrade to a newer version?
I do not see any discount for the current holders. I currently see it's about 3000 euros per license to upgrade.
To be fair, the fees paid for maintenance are about the fees required to rent the extra features, so for seasonal users, that might be a more attractive option.
So here are my questions
If I decide to upgrade to the broadcast version in 2-3 years when my work can afford it, will I still be eligible for the discount, or will I have to purchase it anew?
2. When I rent a feature for 2-3 months, what is the usual time it takes to be activated?
