Subscribe for ongoing access and every update as it ships, or own the current release outright with
a perpetual license. Start with a separate 30-day workspace trial; no card is required.
Choose the number of license seats in portal billing. Each seat covers one activated PC, including its Windows accounts. Contact us for invoice or volume enquiries.
What's the difference between monthly, annual, and perpetual?
Both subscriptions give you full access plus every new feature as it ships — monthly bills each month and cancels any time, annual bills once a year and works out to about one month free. Perpetual is a one-time payment for permanent access to the current release and its minor updates, but not to future major versions.
Can I cancel my subscription? What happens when I do?
Cancel through Manage billing in the customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period. Local project files and exports remain on your PC; licensing controls continued app access.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Create a workspace for a separate 30-day trial without entering payment details. Accept the emailed invitation, sign in, download the installer and activate your trial license. The workspace trial does not automatically become a paid subscription; choose a paid plan separately in portal billing.
What cameras work with Pixosight?
Anything Windows exposes as a capture device. Two backends ship — Media Foundation for USB and UVC cameras, DirectShow for hardware a UVC-only path would miss. Plenty of cameras work as soon as you plug them in; others only show up once the manufacturer's driver or software package is installed, since that's what registers them with Windows. Pixosight lists whatever Windows has, so if the camera appears in another capture app it should appear here. We don't certify specific models — the trial is the quickest way to confirm your own.
How do saved calibrations work?
You measure something of known size in the image or live feed, enter its real value and unit, and name the profile. That profile belongs to one optical setup — a specific magnification, focal distance, and camera — so keep the setup and it reloads every session. Change the optics and you calibrate once more. Profiles are shared across Windows users on the machine and export as JSON.
Can I move my license to a different computer?
Licenses belong to your organization. One license seat covers one activated PC, including its Windows accounts. Manage devices in the portal; deactivating a device frees capacity. Contact support for hardware-change or transfer help.
How do I download and activate Pixosight?
Trial and paid customers can sign in and use the portal Downloads page to get the signed Windows installer. Activate with the license key shown in the portal. Contact VCNet to arrange offline activation for restricted or disconnected PCs.
Can I get measurement data out as a spreadsheet or report?
Not as CSV, Excel, or PDF — there's no report export today. You can export the annotated image with everything baked in, and copy measurement text with Ctrl+C. If a tabular export matters to your workflow, tell us; it helps us prioritise.
Does Pixosight require an internet connection?
Yes, for license validation. If the license server is temporarily unreachable, short-term offline use is supported. Your measurement data and images are always local — nothing is uploaded. If you need to run in an air-gapped or restricted network environment, contact us.
What operating system does Pixosight require?
Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041) or later, and Windows 11. There is no macOS or Linux build.
How do payments work?
Sign in to portal billing, choose a plan and license quantity, then continue to Stripe Checkout. Use Manage billing for payment methods, invoices and cancellation. Plan and quantity changes are not available in the Stripe Customer Portal; use supported portal actions or contact support. Contact us for invoice or volume enquiries.
