Subject: Evaluation of short-term vs. perpetual licensing models for Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Date: [Current Date] Target Audience: Management, Engineering Directors, IT Procurement 1. Executive Summary The term "SolidWorks Mietlizenz" (officially called the SolidWorks Rental License or Term License) refers to a non-perpetual, time-limited authorization to use the software. Unlike the traditional perpetual license (one-time purchase plus annual maintenance), the rental license is paid monthly or annually and expires completely at the end of the term.

As of 2024/2025, Dassault Systèmes has significantly restricted or discontinued traditional short-term rental licenses for commercial users in many regions, pivoting instead to subscription-only models (3DEXPERIENCE SolidWorks) or forcing perpetual licenses. However, legacy rental options still exist for specific use cases (education, events, cloud versions).
