FAQs - Renewing MASTERSPEC


Why do I need to renew my license each year?

MASTERSPEC is regularly updated to provide specifiers, architects, engineers, and other design professionals the most thorough, up-to-date, and industry-recognized specification system available. Your license allows you to:

  • Access the information provided in MASTERSPEC during the period of your license
  • Receive critical updates that keep your information current
  • Take advantage of free continuing education programs
  • Access MASTERWORKS software upgrades
  • Receive technical and specification support

Once you choose not to renew your license, you forfeit the rights to continue using MASTERSPEC and must return or destroy the system.
