But to change machines, it is a pain.. Pros Overall all features are good and easy adoption Cons Customer Service and licensing is outdated. You cannot recover and use old licenses..even when I had the physical machines, the company is not capable of activating the licenses on that machine and charging huge amounts! Review Source Response from Spice Technologies July 18, 2023 Dear Mr. Ganesh, Thanks for your review. Do understand, that you were not able to recover your license. Customers are provided with license certificate and it is important that customer retains the license serial key. Since the license is a perpetual license you have purchased, the license is 100% owned by you. If you had taken a subscription license we would have control on your license. Normal process is to return a license before you format your system, and in the event of a system crash, you would be able to reset the license on the same system. Please email support@cadmate.org for further support requirement. We provide 1 year free technical support, beyond that it would be recommended to take an AMC for further details you can contact our support team. PP Pradipta P.

Consultant Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The Most Useful CAD Software" November 16, 2018 4.0 I am using this software since last 6 months. This is a good replacement to that of AutoCAD. Since long people are searching for some good replacement to AutoCAD and i feel that search ends at CADMATE. The change over to new software is always difficult but here in case of CADMATE the change over is very very smooth as its interface and use of commands are very very similar as that AutoCAD. Pros The user friendly interface makes it most suitable to change from AutoCAD to Cadmate. The stability is good. It can handle very big file at an ease. Features are very very useful for all. Cons Cost is little on higher side as compared with the available software cost.
