Every artist.
One floating licence pool.
Studio is the collaborative standard: the unrestricted PFTrack toolset with multi-user floating licences that move across any authorised workstation in your organisation, plus an external Python API and CLI for pipeline automation the same feature set as Enterprise, except advanced pipeline integration and permanent offline licence management.
Boutique and mid-sized studios
Professional artists, small studios, boutique studios, production teams and mid-sized facilities, anywhere more than one person touches the tracking and reconstruction work.

Support
Multi-user floating licences float across any authorised workstation within the purchasing organisation, the licence follows whoever needs it, rather than sitting on one box.
Licences are managed through your Studio account. Permanent offline and air-gapped operation are Enterprise features.
External Python API and CLI make Studio compatible with production pipelines running Unreal Engine, Maya, Houdini, Nuke and other DCCs. Enterprise adds extended Python APIs and advanced pipeline integration.
There is no trial licence. Sign up for an account, download PFTrack and it runs in demo mode, nothing to install licence-wise, and export is disabled, so you can judge the nodes, solving and workflow before you rent or buy.
Optional ticketed support is available at additional cost. Dedicated enterprise support and custom maintenance contracts sit with Enterprise.
Borrow to work offline
Take a licence off the network for up to 14 days and run PFTrack on one computer with no connection: on location, on the road, or behind a restricted network. Return it early and it goes straight back into the pool. Your Account Owner chooses which computers can borrow.
Rent it for a project, or own it
Is Studio the right edition?
1. Can your PFTrack workstations reach the internet to validate a licence?
2. How is your team deployed?
3. What do support and procurement need to look like?
PFTrack Studio is the right edition
Studio gives you the complete toolset with multi-user floating licences managed through an online Studio account — from £59/week on 5- or 30-day rent-to-buy, or £1,699 perpetual. Nothing in your answers requires Enterprise deployment controls.
Because your workstations can validate a licence online; one organisation with floating licences is sufficient; online purchase with optional ticketed support works.
Studio vs Enterprise
Every edition ships with the full node set. Studio adds command-line processing and RED and ARRI RAW debayering; the rest is how each edition is licensed and deployed.

Common Questions
No. Studio carries the same feature set as Enterprise with two exceptions: advanced pipeline integration and offline licence management.
There is no trial licence. Create an account, download PFTrack and it runs in demo mode: no licence to install, and export is disabled. That lets you assess the interface, nodes and solving workflow before committing; exporting to Postshot or your DCC requires a licence.
Licences are multi-user and floating: they move across any authorised workstation within the purchasing organisation, managed through your Studio account.
Only if it can connect now and then. Borrowing needs a connection to start and end, and lasts up to 14 days. A network that is permanently isolated or air-gapped needs Enterprise, licensed through a local PFBucket Server.
Yes. Your Account Owner turns on borrowing for the computer you are taking, then, before you leave, you borrow a licence on it for up to 14 days. It runs offline for that time and is out of the pool until you return it, or until the period ends with the computer back online. Borrowing works with perpetual and rent-to-buy licences; a rent-to-buy borrow ends no later than the licence itself.
