Cosmic Software FlexNet
Licensing Options
Cosmic Software
uses the industry standard FlexNet
license manager software from Flexera/Renvera to provide a flexible licensing scheme.
Using FlexNet, we offer three types
of product licenses.
Single
CPU and Single User (FIXED)
This type of license allows Cosmic software to be installed on one computer
and used only by a single user physically using the licensed computer. Executing
the compiler across a network is not supported. This type of license is read
directly by the compiler so no license manager software or services are needed.
Node
Locked dongle License (NLD) -
This refers to a license that uses a FLEXID USB dongle for authentication. this is a small USB device very similar in appearance to a small USB memory drive/stick. This
solution allows you to move
license(s) from one computer to another by simply
moving the USB FLEXID (dongle) to another Windows computer with the licensed Cosmic tools installed.
Concurrent
Use or Floating Licenses
This type of license allows Cosmic Tools to be installed on any number of computers or network servers, but limits concurrent usage to the number of licenses purchased. This allows the greatest flexibility for part time users or where user's need access to the software on more than one computer on the same network. e.g. The user's office computer and a computer lab. This type of license is counted and requires the installation of the FlexNet license manager software on a Windows server or workstation. All floating licenses are checked out for a minimum of 10 minutes and same license reuse is set to same user on same workstation. Please note the network load is usually very small because the actual Cosmic Software tools are typically installed and run on the client and not on the server. This type of license uses a unique Hostid on the license server which can be either a VMUUID, for systems running Virtual Machine software, FlexId USB dongle or a physical ethernet mac address (PHY_ETHER) on computers not running VM.
