Question regarding sitewide subscription and software

[KollinD]

I recently signed up for the site to start programming, but I'm still deciding between the subscription and buying the full ecourses. What is the difference between the 2? Is the training software for Mastercam2019, and the ecourse PDFs, available to download with the subscription?

Hello KollinD,

Buying a full course gives you access to that course for that version indefinitely. If you purchase the Mastercam 2018 Mill Essentials eCourse, for example, you can come back in at any time in the future to refresh yourself with the videos or the eBook. However, you don't automatically get access to newer versions of the course (e.g., 2019 or 2020) or other courses (e.g., Mill Advanced). 

The Sitewide Subscription gives you access to all eBooks and all eCourses for as long as you keep up your subscription. You get all currently released materials as well as access to new materials as they are released. If you buy a year-long subscription today you'll automatically get access to all of the materials for the next version of Mastercam when it's released next year. A week before your subscription is set to expire you'll be sent a reminder asking you to renew. If you choose not to renew your access will automatically expire and you will no longer be able to access the eBooks and your progress in the courses will be erased. You will not be automatically charged for renewal so there's no risk of forgetting to cancel when you're finished and being on the hook for an additional year. 

You also don't need to buy anything from eMastercam.com to access the free Home Learning Edition of Mastercam 2019. You can download it here: https://signup.mastercam.com/demo-hle
