Your Alibre Licence – Long-Term Value, Training Resources, and Working Together

Alibre licences are perpetual - That means when you purchase an Alibre licence, you own it for life. We’ve had situations where customers have accidentally purchased a new licence, not realising they already owned one. In reality, all that was required was a maintenance renewal to bring the software fully up to date.

True value for money - We regularly see customers return to Alibre after many years away. In most cases, all that’s needed to get back up and running is a current annual maintenance contract with a small reinstatement penalty. There’s no need to start again — your original investment is protected.

Online training and resources

To help you get the most out of Alibre, there’s range of free resources and tutorials designed to get you productive as quickly as possible. From beginner-friendly walkthroughs and step-by-step video lessons to practical tips that unlock smarter modeling techniques, these resources will help you build confidence, avoid common pitfalls, and start designing like a pro. Dive in, learn at your own pace, and make your Alibre Design software truly count.

Alibre YouTube Channel - The Alibre YouTube channel is a fantastic resource with hundreds of videos to help you master Alibre Design including complete software overviews and step-by-step tutorials.

Alibre Training Centre – Alibre have developed their own dedicated online training centre which provides comprehensive structured training courses covering a wide range of topics from part modelling to sketch tools.

Atom 3D Tutorial eBook - For Atom3D triallists we have created a completely free eBook with Over 120 pages of comprehensive Alibre Atom 3D tutorials. Expertly written with easy to follow instructions and screenshots, this tutorial guide provides a wealth of information to get you up and running with Albre Atom 3D, taking you through example projects step-by-step.

Working together – reference sites

As Alibre Design Expert continues to grow, we are keen to work more closely with customers who are using the Product Data Management (PDM) system included with Alibre Design Expert.

If you would be willing share your experience, or participate in a short case study — particularly around PDM usage — we would be very pleased to hear from you. This helps other organisations understand real-world workflows and benefits.

Participation can be as as much or as as you wish, and we’ll always discuss details with you first. This can be a great opportunity to share your success with potential customers and gain some exposure.
