Go to Tools → Auto-number wires. This single feature saves hours of manual labeling on complex diagrams.

Perpetual License + Update Subscription – €198 + optional €49/year

Why it’s best: The base license never expires, but the update subscription keeps you current. You can skip years and resubscribe later.


ProfiCAD includes over 12,000 symbols (relays, PLCs, switches, transformers, etc.). Many users never explore beyond the basics. Go to Tools → Symbol Manager and browse categories you haven’t used before.

If you have accepted that paying is the smart path, how do you get the best price?

Step 1: Avoid Resellers Many third-party websites sell ProfiCAD keys for $350. Always go to the official source: www.proficad.com.

Step 2: Look for Volume Discounts Are you a training center or a company with 5+ engineers? The official website offers significant multi-user discounts.

Step 3: The "Trial" Strategy Download the fully functional 30-day trial. Do not use a crack. Use the trial for 25 days. If you love it, buy the key. The company often sends a 10% discount code to trial users who abandon their cart.

Step 4: Bundle Deals Sometimes, buying ProfiCAD + ProfiCAM (the panel layout tool) together saves you 20% versus buying them separately.
