Insight the FRIENDSHIP-Framework

New license modes for more flexibility

Each project is unique—as are its conditions and requirements. Providing solutions for these very specifics, we have re-designed our licensing modes. With more options you may make a better choice. What illustrates the design process within FRIENDSHIP-Framework is no less true for the way you may want to include and apply the software in your engineering workflow.

Therefore, we have sought ways to make our software available, which allow you to pursue your specific engineering  tasks while respecting individual needs. FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS now provides several license modes, which differ in their nature and scope. They will help you to make the most of your resources, both in engineering and capital. New is: now you can rent the FRIENDSHIP-Framework and you can issue it flexibly as floating license. Read more below.

The various approaches are tailored to your individual demands. Please contact us for details.

Floating license

This license type extends your flexibility. It grants you the full functionality of the FRIENDSHIP-Framework along with the option to install and run the software on several computers at a time, depending on the license scope. A floating license is web-based and not hardware-bound. It works on the basis of a server entry, which indicates the license state in relation to the hardware, on which the software currently runs. Hence, if you purchase a floating license for one FRIENDSHIP-Framework edition, the software may well be installed on several computers, yet may run only on one hardware at a time. If you license two editions, the software may well be installed on numerous computers, yet may run on only two of these at a time (and so forth).
We are pleased to introduce you to the Floating license system and to arrange an individual package on demand. Please contact us for details. 

Rent license

An at all times up-to-date FRIENDSHIP-Framework license and a flexible time frame are the key benefits of the Rent license. It is the perfect solution for project-based work. This short-term license mode is the key to the complex engineering functionality of the FRIENDSHIP-Framework in attractive packaging. Find our rates for the rent license here.

Perpetual license approach

FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS generally issues perpetual licenses.  This approach provides full functionality and regular updates plus access to latest developments and extensive support services for the first year issued along with the optional prolongation.  Perpetual licenses grant continuous high return on investment and guarantee the highest lasting benefit from the functionality and the upgrades of the FRIENDSHIP-Framework as well as from the range of supplying services.
This license mode is bound to hardware. That means, licenses are activated persistently for specific computers or work stations.
