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.
The FREE technical support available from That CAD Girl or from Carlson Software is not dependent on Maintenance status.

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.
