If you are not using or do not plan to use some of your licenses, we advise you to remove them from your USB Dongle. You can do this by “parking” your licenses into MyCAD account of your organization. You can reload these licenses back to the USB dongle at any time. For more information or help regarding your licenses please contact us through Service Desk.
You can cancel your subscription at any time. Canceling will prevent a renewal action at the end date of the current Update Subscription. If you subscribed to monthly payments with a 12-month commitment, you are expected to honor the contract until its expiration. Gemini CAD Systems will continue to offer update services until the end date of the current subscription period and will not issue any refunds for cancellations made prior to the contractual renewal date.
If you cancel your Update Subscription, you will have access to the “latest allowed version” you purchased before subscribing to the Software Update.

Please note that files created with the new version of the software are not readable by old versions, so we strongly advise you to save your models with “Save as compatibility mode” functionality. The functionality will allow you to save your files (models, orders) in a software version of your lifetime license and keep important data intact.
