Single User / Single Seat Licenses

A Single User Single Seat (SUSS) License is a license for one user at at time on a designated machine. These licenses also include a Personal Use license at no additional charge on Absoft branded products. This allows the registered user to install the software
license(s) on a personal home machine as well as their office machine as long as the two machines are not being used at the same time.

 

Floating Network Multi User Licenses - Single Operating System Environments

Floating Network licenses allow users to :
a). Install software on a single machine which is accessed by multiple users on the same local network
b). Licenses can be used concurrently by no more than the number of authorized users

 

Subscription Licenses - Single Operating System Environments

An Absoft Subscription License is a form of Single User license where the software is licensed for a specific term (typically 12 months) rather than on a perpetual basis. Subscription Licenses for the product expire at the end of the term and may be renewed for additional terms. All applications created with Subscription Licenses are perpetual. Absoft currently offers Subscription Licenses only with its Express Fortran Compilers. All other Absoft licenses are perpetual.

 

MaxFlex™ - New Maximum Flexibility Software Licensing

NEW - MaxFlex™ - The Mix and Match Software License Manager from Absoft Corporation provides users with cost savings and maximum licensing flexibility. Absoft continues to lead the market with MaxFlex as an industry first allowing customers to mix and match licenses for multiple environments.

Based on customer demand, Absoft has developed a new MaxFlex™ Licensing Manager and licensing policy which allows customers to freely mix and match Absoft compiler licenses for Windows, Macintosh and Linux at their own convenience without having to re-license from Absoft. For customers using multiple operating systems, MaxFlex affords significant savings through bundle pricing (multiple platforms) and accesses the different compilers licenses, as the customer requires. Customers ordering MaxFlex™ Network licenses (for local networks) select the platforms they want then mix and match license usage for Absoft products across all platforms in a heterogeneous local environment.

At any point, under MaxFlex™ licensing, this same customer could change the mix, for example by using one (1) Fortran compiler on Linux, and two (2) Fortran compilers on Macintosh, or any other combination totaling no more than three (3) licenses total. Similarly, customers migrating from 32-bit to 64-bit Linux might initially use one (1) 64-bit Linux license and two (2) 32-bit licenses, then later use (2) 64-bit licenses and one (1) 32-bit license as their migration to a 64-bit environment progresses.

No other company offers this type of multi-platform cost-saving flexible licensing alternative!
