QuoteWerks Licensing
QuoteWerks Licensing Overview
QuoteWerks offers flexible licensing designed to support both modern subscription-based deployments and traditional one-time licensing. Most new customers today choose subscription licensing, while traditional licensing remains available for organizations with specific deployment requirements.
All QuoteWerks licenses are based on concurrent usage, meaning you only license the maximum number of users who will be actively using QuoteWerks at the same time.

Subscription Licensing (Most Common for New Customers)
Subscription licensing is the primary option for new QuoteWerks customers. It provides predictable costs, automatic updates, and access to the latest features without managing upgrades or maintenance plans.
How Subscription Licensing Works
- Licensed per concurrent user
- Available as monthly or annual subscriptions
- Includes all updates and new versions
- No separate maintenance or upgrade fees
- Licenses remain active as long as the subscription is current
You do not need a license for every user. You only need enough licenses to cover peak simultaneous usage.

Concurrent User Licensing Explained
All QuoteWerks licenses are based on concurrent usage, not named users.
For example, if 10 people have access to QuoteWerks, but only 4 use it at the same time, only 4 licenses are required.
This applies to subscription licensing, traditional licensing, QuoteWerks Desktop, and QuoteWerks Web.
