Customers who are currently still working with WSCAD SUITE X PLUS and have a current maintenance contract will continue to be served as part of the maintenance contract. However, the software will no longer receive any further functional enhancements.<\/p>\n

To ensure that you always benefit from the latest technologies and improved performance, we strongly recommend switching to our innovative and user-friendly ELECTRIX E-CAD software. Compared to SUITE X PLUS, WSCAD ELECTRIX not only offers a variety of new features, but also up to 100% faster performance in terms of response time and processing speed. Thanks to the Search & Click function, ELECTRIX users design on average 30% faster than with WSCAD SUITE X PLUS and also benefit from a newly developed editor and the new and extended interfaces to our partner companies<\/a> such as WAGO, Scneider Electric, PHOENIX CONTACT or Weidm\u00fcller.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Please note: As of 1 January 2024, we have discontinued support for Internet Explorer for all WSCAD products.

From 1st January 2024, you will not be able to load components data from wscaduniverse.com directly into WSCAD SUITE if you use Internet Explorer from.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The full story: Microsoft stopped supporting Internet Explorer in June 2022. Since the beginning of 2023, Internet Explorer has been deactivated on all Windows systems and Internet Explorer 11 has been permanently disabled. Microsoft recommends using another browser for a faster, more secure and more modern web browsing experience. Following this recommendation, as of January 1st 2024 WSCAD will discontinue the support of Internet Explorer for all WSCAD products. From this date on, it will not be possible to import parts data from wscaduniverse.com directly into WSCAD SUITE.<\/p>\n

If you still want to download data from wscaduniverse.com after January 1st 2024, you must use a modern browser, download the data with the browser and then import the data manually into WSCAD SUITE. Or you can migrate from SUITE to ELECTRIX and save yourself all the hassle.

Price increase starting 1st November 2023<\/h3>\n

If you migrate to WSCAD ELECTRIX after October 31st 2023, you will experience higher migration fees. To prevent this, please upgrade to WSCAD ELECTRIX before 31st October 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 1st November 2023, we have to adjust the costs for the migration from WSCAD SUITE to ELECTRIX. This adjustment reflects rising costs throughout the product creating process. The price increase applies to customers converting a SUITE perpetual license with a maintenance contract into an ELECTRIX subscription license<\/a> aa well as to users upgrading their SUITE license to an ELECTRIX perpetual license. In both cases, having a valid maintenance contract, ensures more favorable terms and conditions.<\/p>\n

You can bypass the price increase by requesting a quote and migrating from WSCAD SUITE to ELECTRIX before November 1st 2023. With ELECTRIX you will be able to design faster and avoid higher costs. Please call our Sales Team at +49 (0)8131 3627-400.<\/p>\n
