Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know before getting started.
Dassault Systèmes sells the software; Kotona Vision guides you through its adoption. In practice, you get a single Québec-based point of contact for needs assessment, deployment, team training, and support when things stall, in French or English, during Canadian business hours. License pricing is identical, but the support makes all the difference on ROI.
Plan for 2 to 4 weeks between signature and the moment your engineers are productive. This includes installation, configuration tailored to your workflows, migration of your existing files (AutoCAD, other CAD formats), and initial team training. For SMEs already running CAD, the timeline is shorter.
Yes. The entire Kotona Vision team is based in Québec and works fluently in French and English. We support Québec SMEs as well as companies in Ontario, Alberta, or British Columbia. Technical support is delivered in the language of your choice.
No long-term commitment from our side. SOLIDWORKS licenses are available monthly, quarterly, or annually, you pick what fits your situation. You can scale the number of licenses up or down based on how your activity evolves.
Yes. We systematically offer a free trial license before any commitment, paired with a technical conversation to make sure SOLIDWORKS truly fits your needs. For Canadian industrial startups, the first year of licensing is fully free through our dedicated program.
