Frequently asked questions

Can the Trimble Business Center (TBC) perpetual and subscription licenses be combined?
collapse icon

No, the license options are independent and features or licenses from one does not impact the other.

Is it possible to mix and match different TBC subscription plans?
collapse icon

Yes, you can have a different number of plans within an organization and tailor the number of seats to the capabilities of the staff. For example, you can purchase ten seats of TBC Survey + Mapping and two seats of Aerial Survey which can then be assigned to the person(s) with the necessary skill set.

What is the term length of the TBC subscription?
collapse icon

Subscriptions are for one year term periods. At the end of the year, subscription plans can be renewed with your local Trimble Geospatial Distribution Partner.

Is there a migration path for current perpetual customers?
collapse icon

If you are interested in migrating to the TBC subscription option from a current perpetual license, contact your local Trimble Geospatial Distribution Partner to identify the best configuration of plan(s) and seat(s) for your needs.

Why do TBC subscriptions require a single, named user per seat?
collapse icon

A named user is a specific account, and therefore a person, who is granted access to an application or service. At Trimble, we utilize a unique Trimble Identity (TID) to identify named users. The TID cannot be shared with another user. The subscription license is assigned to the Trimble ID, not a hardware serial number or software KeyID, as is the case with the perpetual license options. In summary, one person = one TID = one subscription seat.

What are the benefits of using the single, named user TID approach?
collapse icon

Named users simplifies the software management process by:

  • Enabling software license assignment to individual skill sets (eg. efficiency with roading or 3D scanning)
  • Improving field-to-office synchronization via SyncManager by sending data to a person, not a device
  • Protecting login authentication and cyber security needs
