Note: This is a bit of a "secret menu item" (not really but not well advertised).

It's available to people making less than $2k/yr from projects.

If you make more than $2k/yr, you need to pay standard prices, which start at $2.8k/yr.



"If you make $1,999 you owe us $50, if you make $2,001 you owe us $2,800" seems so obviously ridiculous it has to be wrong. Right?


Well, it's a non-commercial license. The $2000 limit is already kind of generous, especially since it's a profit limit and not a revenue limit.

Without having read the fineprint you could make a lot of revenue as long as you keep reinvesting the money into stuff related to your solidworks side-hustle (buying 3D printers, material, CNC machines, workstations, whatever).


It would seem so, but no, that is "correct."
