Annual Maintenance
Carlson's Annual Maintenance is an OPTIONAL program that allows you to purchase next year's version of the program at a discount. Maintenance purchased at the time of software purchase qualifies you to automatically receive all upgrades released for the next 15 months. If purchased within 90 days of your Software purchase, pricing for Maintenance is 10% of the retail price of the software. Carlson's policy on Software Maintenance can be viewed by clicking here.

What CAD Platform Do I Need?

Questions about purchasing or upgrading your Autodesk Software? That CAD Girl can help with that as well. Please email or call us for more information.

During the installation, you will be presented with the dialog box shown below. You are welcome to run the installation multiple times to try Carlson on top of multiple platforms.

Carlson Survey can also be purchased with "Embedded AutoCAD" or, as it's sometimes referred to, OEM version. The OEM or Embedded AutoCAD version of Carlson Survey includes a limited, stripped-down version of AutoCAD. This version does not include IntelliCAD and does not require any additional AutoCAD software purchase.
