[FAQ]

Q1 What types of licenses are available?
A1 There are three types of licenses.

• Node Lock License: This is the standard type of license and means that the software is locked to a single computer on which the license is installed.
• Floating License: This license can be used on multiple machines on a network, provided that all the machines on which the license is installed run continuously.
• Server-Client License: This license can be used on any combination of a single server machine (engine) and a single client machine (GUI) on which the license is installed. The server machine runs the simulation, not the client machine.

Q2 What is the operating environment?
A2 Recommended specification is as follows.

DOS/V (Node Lock, Floating and Client Licenses)

- OS: Windows98, NT, 2000
- CPU: Pentium II 350MHz or higher (Pentium III 500MHz or higher is recommended)
- Memory: 128MB or more
- HD: 150MB or more

Sun SPARCstation (Nod Lock, Floating and Client Licenses)

- OS: Sun Solaris Ver.2.6 or 7
- Memory: 256MB or more
- HD: 200MB (server)/250MB (client) or more
- Network: TCP/IP

Linux (Server License)

- OS: Linumx, Red Hat Ver.6.2
- Memory: 256MB or more
- HD: 420MB
- Network: TCP/IP

Q3 Is evaluation license available?
A3 Yes. We have a 30-day demo license with unlimited functions. For more information, please contact the following phone/fax number or email.
