Guide to available license bits
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.
Category | License name | License version |
---|---|---|
Root | F_Root | - |
F_Documentation | - |
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.

Steel Joint

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.
F_Dynamics is used for calculating Footfall analysis responses and Moving loads.

National Annexes
To design according to a National annex of EuroCode a special country license is needed on top of the Design modules. For design of default-values of EuroCode, the F_Code_EC is needed. It is usually bundled with any purchase of a National Annex.
