Annual Licenses

An annual license has a fee for use of the FEMtools software for a period of 12 months and includes software maintenance and technical support.

Perpetual Licenses

A perpetual license (also sometimes referred to as paid-up license) has a one-time fee for use of the FEMtools software for an indefinite period. software maintenance and technical support for the first 12 months are included.

Node-locked Licenses

A node-locked license allows FEMtools products to be installed and run on a single designated computer. Node-locked licenses can be locked to a dongle or using a system-dependent fingerprint number.

Floating Licenses

FEMtools products can be licensed to run on any computer in a local area network. A designated computer runs a license manager that holds a number of licenses. Floating licenses are also referred to as network or concurrent licenses.

A roaming license is a floating license that is temporarily locked to a specific (portable) computer. After the license is installed, the portable computer can be removed from the network and FEMtools can be used for the given number of days on the standalone computer.

Licenses for Academic Use

Significant discounts are available for FEMtools licenses used by academic or non-profit organizations.

Special low cost annual license options are available for node-locked or floating licenses that include software upgrades, and support. The software can be configured for unlimited model size or for models with up to 16000 nodes.

Developer Licenses
