NCEES is where your record lives. It is not where you find out Ohio is due in 30 days. PE License Pro imports your NCEES CE, then tracks every state's deadline and reminds you before anything lapses.
PE License Pro is where you track your licenses and CE day to day. Import your CE history from NCEES in one click and pick up from there. From then on it pulls your licenses and renewal dates from each state board, checks your CE against every state's rules, and emails you before anything lapses. NCEES is still where you keep your official Council Record and apply for new licenses by comity.
NCEES is the backbone of multi-state licensure. Your Council Record is how you get licensed by comity in a new state, and in some states (Florida, for one) your CPC hours have to be reported through NCEES. None of that is going away, and PE License Pro does not try to replace it.
What NCEES was never built to do is babysit your renewals. It will not email you that Ohio is due in 30 days. It will not pull your existing licenses and expiration dates in from the state boards. It will not tell you that you are three PDH short for a specific state this cycle. You enter and check all of that yourself.
That is the gap PE License Pro fills. Import from NCEES and your CE history comes across. From then on you are tracking deadlines and getting reminders instead of retyping records.

NCEES refers to the NCEES Records and CPC Tracking services as publicly described in 2026. PE License Pro imports from NCEES; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by NCEES.
Most multi-state PEs keep their NCEES Record for comity applications and move their day-to-day tracking here: import once, and PE License Pro becomes the dashboard and the alarm clock.
For tracking your licenses and CE, yes. For getting licensed, no. Import your CE history from NCEES in one click, then log new CE and track every renewal in PE License Pro. Keep your NCEES Record for what only NCEES does: your official Council Record, and sending your credentials to a board when you get licensed in a new state by comity.
Yes, on Pro and up. Sign in with your NCEES login and it imports your CPC continuing-education history into your dashboard, then tracks ongoing CE against each state's specific requirement. No retyping entries from one system into another.
Not automatically. You run the import whenever you want to pull in what is on your NCEES record, and each import refreshes those entries. Most engineers import once to get their history in, then log new CE in PE License Pro going forward.
NCEES does not proactively track per-state renewal deadlines, email you before a license lapses, auto-import your existing licenses and expiration dates from state boards, forecast your annual renewal cost, or give a firm admin a team-wide view. In NCEES you enter and check all of that by hand. PE License Pro automates it.
If you get licensed in new states by comity, or your state board requires CPC reporting through NCEES (Florida is one example), then yes, keep your NCEES Record. PE License Pro does not cancel or replace it.
