Flex Licenses

A Flex License provides the ability to share it with multiple users in several locations in a network.

Flex licenses can be shared between concurrent users or computers on the same network to reduce the number of licenses and costs.

A Flex License

• lets you share the license with others on a network simultaneously (according to the maximum number of client users)
• a single user can use the same license on different computers but not simultaneously
• a user can open several instances of the software on the same computer.
• allows you to take away the license for a defined period if you need to work outside of the network (Borrow License mode)
• is valid without time limitation (with the freedom to renew annual update and support service after 12 months)

Note: A Flex License requires a minimum quantity of 3 floating licenses shared on a same network.

A Flex License includes:

• ARES Commander – as a full license which will never expire
• ARES Touch and ARES Kudo for one year (respectively the rest of the one-year duration)
• Free updates to upcoming versions within a year (usually each quarter). Updates include:
  • Service Packs, which are new builds of the same version that fix issues
  • Upgrade to the next major release with added functionality (if a new major release falls into the period of validity of the license)
• E-mail support for one year (contact our technical support service at [email protected])
