Questions

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once and the licence is yours. Every 1.x update is free.

Why one licence per platform?

Each version of Datum is built and supported separately, so a licence covers one: Mac, Windows, the web app or Linux. Buy it again only for a platform you also want to use. Plug-ins work the same way.

How many computers can I use it on?

A few of your own computers on that platform. Moving to a new one? Remove the key in Datum on the old computer first, or free it in your customer portal.

How do I get my licence key?

Straight after payment, by email. It starts with DATUM-. In Datum, open Help › Datum Pro and plug-ins and paste it under "Have a licence key?".

Do I need to type the launch code?

No. Until 14 January 2027 the Buy Datum Pro button applies DATUM50 for you; after that date the page goes back to the full price by itself. The launch offer is for Datum Pro; the plug-ins have their own early-bird prices before they ship.

Is there an education discount?

Yes. Students and teachers get 20% off: use the "Student or teacher?" link under the Buy button, which fills in code EDU20 for you, or enter it at checkout. Only one code applies per checkout, so while the launch offer runs it is the better deal for Datum Pro.

Do my files get uploaded?

No. Datum works on your device, in the browser or the desktop app, and your models are saved there. Only the optional AI assistant sends what you ask it to.

Who handles the payment?

Polar, our reseller, takes the payment and handles VAT and sales tax for your country. Your receipt comes from them. See our refund policy.
