Can you convert a current perpetual license to a subscription license?
A Perpetual License Key can no longer be converted or upgraded into a %%Subscription License%%.
To access the latest version of Lumion, you must purchase a new %%Subscription License%%. Your existing %%Perpetual License Key%% will remain active and unchanged.
1. What happens when you purchase a Subscription License?
A new and independent %%Subscription License Key%% is issued.
This means:
- Your %%Perpetual License Key%% remains available.
- Your new %%Subscription License%% provides access to the latest Lumion version for the duration of its term.
- Both licenses can be used independently, subject to their respective number of %%Seats%%.
- The number of subscription %%Seats%% is based on your new purchase. It does not need to match the number of %%Seats%% on your perpetual license.
- No %%Seats%% are transferred from the perpetual license to the subscription.
To purchase a subscription, visit:
- Lumion Website: Buy Lumion
For more information about Lumion licensing, see:
- Knowledge Base: How does the license system work?
2. What happens if the Subscription License expires?
When the subscription term and any applicable grace period end, the %%Subscription License Key%% expires and can no longer be used.
Your %%Perpetual License Key%% is not affected. You can continue using the Lumion version or versions associated with it.
For more information, see:
- Knowledge Base: Subscription renewals and changes
3. Important information about Lumion Project files
Lumion %%Project%% files are not backwards compatible.
If you save a %%Project%% in a newer subscription version of Lumion, you cannot open that %%Project%% in an older version associated with your %%Perpetual License Key%%.
We recommend keeping separate backup copies before opening or saving older %%Projects%% in a newer Lumion version.
