Guide to available license bits

Last modified by Iwona Budny Bjergø on 2023/09/22 14:25

Availability of licenses

For FEM-Design and all modules the license bits in Flexera is divided into several categories:

Root licenses

For each instance of FEM-Design running the program needs a root-license in order to start (for single licenses, "node-locked", only one root license is needed). Each instance might need a documentation license as well, if any information is written in the documentation, or if the documentation is in use.

Main modules

For each main module it is possible to start a module of FEM-Design. So in order to start FEM-Design Plate you need one F_Root and one F_Plate as minimum requirement. It is only possible to run equal and older versions of FEM-Design on these modules. FEM-Design 13 and older needs the previous license system, and are not valid with the current Flexera-solution.

If the License version requirement is higher than is present on the license file, an update of the license file is needed. Upgrades to newest versions are only available for clients with a valid and ongoing maintenance agreemenet.

As of FEM-Design 19 Parametric Editor is not needed to run the module since it is in beta-development, it will become available for sales in FEM-Design 20 when all features has been added to the module. It will be free for all users to try out during 2020.

Others

In order to use more than one CLT the F_CLT-license needs to be available, it is also a requirement to have the F_Timber_EC5 in order to design CLT-panels.
