With the release of ALGOR V14, we are implementing the FLEXlm license manager technology across our entire product line in order to provide our customers with local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) support and concurrent use, upgrade and purchasing flexibility. This license manager enables customers to take full advantage of cost-effective solutions for enterprise-wide licensing, networked license sharing and remote-use and single, node-locked licensing based on changing software needs.

The new license management tools provide:

• support for single-computer, network and enterprise-wide licensing
• support for node-locked or floating licenses 
• support for LAN and WAN network access
• capability to "borrow" a floating license for off-site use from a pool of concurrent use licenses (e.g., to use on a laptop while traveling)
• matrix licensing capability that offers varying concurrent use limits for each ALGOR product 
• capability to add new software capabilities by simply downloading a new license file 
• capability to try additional software capabilities before you buy them - all within your current ALGOR software installation

Transitioning to the new license management tools is seamlessly supported by a new installation program and licensing wizard included when you update or upgrade your software. 

Contact your account manager to review how these new licensing tools affect your account and to choose a solution that better fits your current or changing engineering software needs.
