Research/Charitable/Retired (RCR) licenses for Argon

Because of changing tax laws around the world, it is more and more to our customers’ advantage to order licenses for our CAD and 3D modeling software separately from the physical materials, such as DVDs and printed manuals.

PDF versions of the manuals are installed with the product and can also be found on the Documentation page of our website. No physical disk or printed material will be sent to you.

For those in remote geographical locations or in secure facilities without a ready internet access, a physical hardware key may be purchased and installed in the USB port, SD or micro SD slot. Be sure to purchase the correct type of key for your needs from Ashlar-Vellum or directly from CodeMeter.
