Please note however that ARES Touch’s subscription is linked to the subscription of ARES Commander. If you purchased an Annual Plan the subscription is valid until your license expires. If you purchased a Perpetual license the subscription has to be renewed after one year. If your subscription has expired you will lose access to the Premium features of ARES Touch but will still enjoy the free features.

Is ARES Touch free? How to buy?

When you install ARES Touch you can immediately use the free features at no cost. The Premium features require to buy a subscription.

To try the full power of ARES Touch you can simply activate a free 30-day trial of ARES Commander or ARES Kudo that include a subscription for ARES Touch.  When the trial expires you can continue using ARES Touch for free with limited features.

What are the main differences between the free version and the full one?

In ARES Touch you can switch between three user modes: Full mode (all the features), Simple mode (limited features with some annotation tools), View-only (no application toolbar to see your drawing full-screen).

The Simple mode, and therefore the free version of ARES Touch, is enough to read DWG drawings and add some dimensions or texts. You can also save and share files. The premium features only available for subscribers include all the drawing and editing features + some of the advanced annotation tools such as Picture Note and Voice Note. More details can be found on the Apple App Store or Google Play store.

If you don’t renew your subscription, you will lose access to the Premium features of ARES Touch. You however will keep access to the free features to view, share and add dimensions. To create, modify and more generally enjoy all the Premium features you will need to subscribe again.

How many devices can I activate with the same account?

The short answer is “as many as you wish”. To be more precise you need to log in with your Graebert Account but it is strictly forbidden to share it with other users. The same user with the same Graebert account may have several mobile devices at no additional cost. You just need to log in with your Graebert account. If you share your Graebert account with a friend we will detect it and consider it as an infringement to your license.
