Cinema 4D: What's the difference between the S and R Versions?

Cinema 4D versions come in two different licensing options - Subscription (S) and Full Release (R).
  1. If you have an active subscription licence, you are permitted to use both the S and R versions.
  2. If you have a perpetual licence, you are permitted to use up to the release you own.

Examples:
  1. An R21 Perpetual user can use R21 only.
  2. An R23 Perpetual user can use R23, S22, and R21 - they cannot use S24 or onward, as this is a subscription-only release.
  3. An R25 Perpetual user can use, R25, S24, R23, S22, and R21, but cannot use S26.

A subscription customer will be able to use the latest version, either S or R.

Cinema 4D 2023 removed the S/R and is a subscription only product.
