The license file and license daemon

To use Simcenter Amesim, you must have a valid license file. This license file includes all the features you are allowed to use.

See the Before you start section for more details.

You must first have received a license file from your local Siemens office.

Simcenter Amesim is licensed on a per-computer or a per-user basis. Depending on the type of license you have, there are two possibilities:

• You have a node-locked license (no access to a license server): FlexNet Publisher must be configured locally on your machine (see instructions below).

• You have a floating license (access to a license server):

On the server specified in the license file: FlexNet Publisher must be installed and configured (see instructions below).

On every client machine accessing the server: no installation or configuration of the license manager is required, the SPLM_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable can be used in this case along with the SC1D_LICENSING_TYPE variable. Please refer to the section Licensing environment variable for more information.
