Extras

Only pay for these if you need them. Neither is required to run the software.

Additional machine setup

$750 per machine

Your license includes post-processor setup for one machine. If you run a second table — or a different control — we build and validate that profile for you.

  • Profile built for your specific machine and control
  • G-code format, motion, and cutting conditions configured
  • Validated against output your control accepts
  • Exportable, so you keep a backup of the profile

Maintenance & updates

$500 per year, optional

Year one is included with your license. After that, renew for continued updates and support — or don't. Your software keeps working either way.

  • Optional — the license is perpetual, not a subscription
  • Software updates and new releases
  • Continued support access
  • Skip a year and pick it back up later

Questions

Licensing FAQ

How is PrimeNEST licensed?

Per seat — one license per machine that runs the software. If you need multiple seats or a shop-wide arrangement, get in touch and we'll put together a quote.

Is the introductory price really 50% off?

Yes. The first 10 customers pay $2,500 for the core package instead of $5,000, and $225 per add-on module instead of $450. Once those ten seats are sold, pricing goes to the regular rate.

Is this a subscription?

No. The license is perpetual — buy it once and it keeps working. Maintenance and updates are $500/year after your first year, but they're optional. If you skip a renewal, your software doesn't stop; you just stay on the version you have until you renew.

What's included for getting my machine running?

Post-processor setup for one machine comes with your license. We build the machine profile for your specific control — G-code format, motion commands, coordinate system, laser control, and cutting conditions — and validate that the output runs.

What if I have more than one machine?

Additional machine setup is $750 each. The software itself holds unlimited machine profiles at no extra cost, so if you'd rather configure a second machine yourself, you can — the $750 is for us to build and validate it for you.

What happens after year one if I don't renew?

Nothing breaks. You keep running the version you have, indefinitely. Renewing at $500/year gets you updates, new releases, and continued support access — and you can pick it back up later if you skip a year.

Can I add a module later?

Yes. Add-ons unlock with an updated license key in the software you already have installed — no reinstall and no data migration.

Do you offer a trial?

We'll run a demo on your own DXF files so you can see real utilization numbers on your actual parts before you commit. Request one here.

How do I get support?

Your first year is included. See the Support page for manuals and how to reach us once you're up and running.

Will it work with my machine?

PrimeNEST outputs for CNC laser and plasma controllers. Tell us your machine and controller and we'll confirm compatibility before you buy — not after.
