Perpetual Licenses

GEO Jobe proudly offers perpetual licensing for all of our products, providing customers with the opportunity to make a one-time investment that secures lasting value, long-term stability, and complete ownership of their software.

Why purchase a perpetual license of GEO Jobe Software?

Perpetual licensing gives you true ownership of your software, providing an upfront investment that delivers lasting control and predictable long-term costs. It allows you to secure ownership of the tools you rely on, while still ensuring continued access to enhancements through a small annual maintenance fee for updates.

Financial Reasons

Cost Savings Over Time

In place of full recurring annual subscription fees, a perpetual license involves a one-time upfront payment with a small annual maintenance fee for updates. This eliminates ongoing costs, providing substantial savings, especially for long-term software use.

Predictable Budgeting

The one-time payment structure simplifies financial planning by removing variable subscription costs. This predictability helps your organization allocate resources more effectively.

Advantages of Capitalizing the License Fee

By capitalizing the perpetual license fee, you can treat the cost as a capital expenditure (CapEx) rather than an operational expense (OpEx). This offers several financial benefits:
• Tax Advantages: Capitalizing the license fee may allow you to depreciate the cost over time, potentially reducing your taxable income through depreciation deductions, depending on your jurisdiction’s tax regulations.
• Improved Financial Reporting: Capitalizing the fee as an asset on your balance sheet can improve financial metrics, such as operating income, by avoiding recurring expense hits associated with SaaS subscriptions.
• Long-Term Investment: Treating the license as a capital asset aligns with long-term strategic investments, enhancing your company’s asset base and potentially improving financial ratios for stakeholders or investors.

Technical Reasons

Ownership and Control

With a perpetual license, you gain ownership of the software license (With a few minor restriction such as no rights to resell). This allows you to use the software indefinitely without dependency on subscription renewals, giving you greater control over your software assets.

Access to Current Version

Upon switching, you will receive the current version of our software, ensuring access to all current features and improvements indefinitely. Optional maintenance plans are available to keep your software updated with future releases.

Flexibility for Customization

A perpetual license often allows for greater customization and integration with your existing systems, as you are assured of perpetual access to the product version purchased and any updates you may choose to have access to through your maintenance fee.

Why Make the Switch Now?

Transitioning to a perpetual license is a strategic decision that aligns with long-term business goals.
