flexible CHEMCAD licensing options for individuals, groups, and companies

Worrying about a license for your process simulator is probably not how you want to spend your time. We get it. You just want CHEMCAD to be available when you need it--so we try to make our licensing as invisible as possible to you, our customers and users.

To that end, we offer a variety of software and hardware licensing solutions, with the aim of providing a "set it and forget it" path for your organization:

• System Authorization software keys for single-machine licensing
• SafeNet(TM) hardware keys for single-machine licensing
• SafeNet(TM) hardware keys for network licensing
• SafeNet(TM) RMS software keys for network licensing

In all scenarios, CHEMCAD can be installed on any or all machines in your organization. Now let's look at licensing options for some typical organizations.

Large organization (multi-user, multi-site, wide area network)

• Access a pool of licenses from any client computer on the network, served by a hardware key placed on any machine on the network.
• Access a pool of licenses from any client computer on the network, served by a software license server (RMS). This further allows commuting of licenses: for example, a laptop connected to your network can 'check out' a license and then leave your network to use CHEMCAD at a remote site.

Small organization (multi-user, single-site, local area network)

• License a single, dedicated CHEMCAD machine with a software key.
• Share one or more hardware keys.
• Use either of the network options listed above on your local area network.

Individual consultant (single user, one or more machines)

• License a single, dedicated CHEMCAD machine with a software key.
• Use a hardware key to enable the most convenient machine (desktop, laptop, etc.) at any given time.

Whether you have a dedicated IT staff, have outsourced IT, or do your own IT, we're here to help. Our technical support staff not only are chemical engineers themselves, but also have a wealth of experience addressing the complex IT needs of all kinds of organizations. We can generate license files, help debug licensing issues, and in some cases, provide contingent licensing if you have network access problems.
