Dassault Systèmes licensing explained
Dassault Systèmes licenses its products through a variety of flexible options designed to meet the diverse needs of its users. The primary licensing types include floating licenses, node-locked licenses, and managed licenses.
- Floating Licenses allow multiple users to share a limited number of licenses within a network. This is managed through the Dassault Systèmes License Server (DSLS), which grants access based on availability.
- Node-Locked Licenses are tied to a specific workstation or user, providing dedicated access to the software.
- Managed DSLS Licensing is a cloud-hosted service that removes the need for a dedicated physical machine to act as the licensing server. This service is managed by Dassault Systèmes and allows for remote access to licenses.
Additionally, Dassault Systèmes offers perpetual licenses, which provide indefinite access to the software with a one-time purchase fee, and rental licenses, which are subscription-based and allow for temporary access.
