TopoMan CAD
What each license unlocks
The trial is the whole program and it never expires. What you buy is the ability to take the work away and — depending which — the surveying.
Trial
To try it without paying anything and with no expiry date.
Editing
For anyone who draws and edits drawings but does no surveying.
Complete
For the surveyor. Everything, no limits.
Subscription
SoonMonthly, across several machines. Built, not open yet.
The monthly subscription is built end to end, but it cannot be signed up for yet. Permanent licenses already sold keep working exactly the same, for good.
The table, no small print

The trial is not a cut-down version
It opens, draws, measures, dimensions and edits with no limits and no expiry date. The only things blocked are save, save as and plot. That is deliberate: whoever evaluates it sees exactly what they are buying, and what they cannot do is deliver a drawing without paying for it.
And the buttons are neither hidden nor greyed out. You press them and they take you to the license dialog, which explains why and shows the machine identifier ready to copy. A button that is not there teaches nobody what the program can do.
A license is tied to one machine
The identifier comes from the hardware — the motherboard and the system — not from the operating system, so it survives formatting and reinstalling Windows. The license dialog shows it, ready to copy and send.
