1. What is the Creativate subscription?
The Creativate subscription is a cloud-based license for embroidery software from VSM (Pfaff, Husqvarna Viking, Singer). Depending on your plan (Essential, Extra, or Elite), you get access to design tools, cloud storage, automatic embroidery patterns, and mobile apps. The subscription is monthly or annually and renews automatically.
2. Differences: Extension direct vs. specialist dealer

Important: You will receive the exact same access via makema.de and can continue to use your existing account.

5. Frequently asked questions about subscription renewals
Can I extend my Creativate subscription with a code even if I have a subscription with the manufacturer?
Yes, when you enter the code, your subscription will be paused and replaced with the new term. The remaining term will remain valid.
Do I have to cancel my existing subscription?
If you currently pay monthly directly through the manufacturer, we recommend canceling your subscription there to avoid automatic debits.
Does the new code also apply to Mac?
Yes, Creativate is cross-platform. You can use the code on Windows or macOS—on up to two devices simultaneously.
What happens after the extended term expires?
You can renew at makema.de or through the manufacturer. There is no automatic debit for the retailer option.
