ishoultz Posted Tuesday at 03:53 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:53 AM Quick question.........Will it still be possible to finish monthly payments (4 of 12) for purchasing Home Designer Pro 2025 license WITHOUT having to update to the 2026 subscription based license? If so...........I'm assuming at that point, no updates for perpetual licenses ever again without monthly subscription payments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipCA Posted Tuesday at 07:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:37 PM Hello ishoultz, Thank you for your question and interest in Home Designer! Yes, you will be able to continue on your Home Designer Professional 2025 rental without updating to the Home Designer 2026 subscription based license. Upgrading to a Home Designer 2026 subscription is optional, but not required. I hope this helps and feel free to reach out if you have more questions!

Best, Phillip Chief Architect Software I know you guys are switching from perpetual to subscription licensing for the 2026 and beyond Home Designer software, but it's unfortunate that you are not honoring your rent-to-own free upgrade to the next version, nor are you allowing current Home Designer users the option to at least be able to upgrade to the 2026 version as a perpetual license before you force any desire to upgrade into a subscription. You allowed existing SSA subscribers for the Chief Architect Premium line to grandfather-in to the perpetual license as long as they kept their SSA up to date.

You mentioned that we can still keep our 2025 version if we want.
