Full-featured products are available as single
user (stand-alone) and concurrent
user (network) licenses.
All ExtendSim full-featured products have the same core set of
capabilities. ExtendSim CP is the base package and is used
for continuous modeling. Subsequent packages add modules designed
for specific markets -- discrete event in OR, discrete rate in
AT, and 3D animation in Suite.
 |
ExtendSim CP
Continuous Process
Our base product and the cornerstone of the ExtendSim family
of simulation tools. It has a set of core features that are
included in all ExtendSim products, plus specialized constructs
for modeling continuous processes. |
 |
ExtendSim OR
Operations Research
The essential tool for researching operational performance.
Features a message-based discrete event architecture and capabilities.
Used to track and analyze the behavior of physical or logical
entities when events cause them to change state or move through
a system. |
 |
ExtendSim
AT
Advanced Technology
Our advanced technology product, ExtendSim AT features a rate-based
functionality for modeling bulk systems, such as packaging
lines, chemical processes, or network traffic. Use it to specify
rates of flow for any high volume or high speed system, then
delay and route the flow using constraints and rules. Includes
an Add-In for editing an ExtendSim database in Excel plus Geer
Mountain's Stat::Fit for distribution fitting. |
 |
ExtendSim Suite
Professional 3D environment
Adds a next generation 3D animation capability to ExtendSim
AT, providing a three-dimensional representation of the world
of the model. The 3D environment is independent of, but integrated
with, the logical model. 3D animation can run concurrently
or be buffered. |

unspecified time period.
It is designed for:
 |
Students building small (75 blocks or less) models for
classwork. |
 |
Potential customers who are evaluating the ExtendSim
line of products and need more capability than the free
Demo version. |
 |
Customers who don’t have ExtendSim but want to
use models built by others. |
The LT-RunTime application has many capabilities. For example, you can:
 |
Explore the features and capabilities of the four ExtendSim
products (ExtendSim Suite, ExtendSim
AT, ExtendSim OR,
and ExtendSim CP) |
 |
Build and save small models (75 blocks or less), or make
changes to existing small models (75 blocks or less), for
a limited time (180 days). |

Maintenance Subscription |
| Budgeting strategy for upgrades
for single user ExtendSim licenses |
The
ExtendSim Maintenance Subscription offers:

With a current Maintenance Subscription, major upgrades (whole
number version
changes) released during the maintenance year will be automatically
shipped to you.
Minor updates and bug fixes between version changes may be
downloaded from the
Imagine That Inc. web site at http://www.extendsim.com/support_upgrades.html.
Maintenance Subscriptions must be renewed on an annual basis.
Before the anniversary
date, the registered end user or license administrator of the
ExtendSim license
will be notified by email that renewal of the Maintenance Subscription
is due.
Please keep us informed if there is a change in end user or
license administrator.
How does the Maintenance Subscription
work?
You have the option to purchase an ExtendSim Maintenance
Subscription when you purchase or upgrade ExtendSim (single
user licenses only). Major upgrades (whole number version changes)
released during your maintenance year will automatically be
shipped to you. You will be invoiced annually to renew the
Subscription so that you can continue receiving regular upgrades. (Policy
on late or lapsed Maintenance.)

How much does it cost?
The price is calculated based on the ExtendSim package you
are purchasing or upgrading. Each license must have its own
Maintenance Subscription.

Why should I opt for a Maintenance Subscription
rather than just pay the upgrade cost at the time of release?
The Maintenance Subscription is designed to help with budget
planning and avoids the cost of processing purchase requisitions
for upgrades.
If you do not purchase the Subscription and you wish to upgrade
to the current version of ExtendSim at a later date, it may
cost you more. The upgrade price is variable, depending upon
features included in each release.

Do I need a Maintenance Subscription if I
own an ExtendSim Network License?
No. An ExtendSim Maintenance & Support Plan is already
included in all Network (Concurrent
User and Lab) Licenses

ASP (Application
Service Provider) |
| Provide
access to ExtendSim functionality over the internet or
intranet |
An
ASP license gives the licensee the right to access (or in the
case of service providers, to provide access to) the full functionality
of ExtendSim over an intranet or the internet utilizing a customized
license of ExtendSim AT.
An ExtendSim ASP license is a great solution for organizations
who:
 |
Want the benefits and capabilities of simulation without
deploying ExtendSim licenses to end users |
 |
Prefer centralized control and management of ExtendSim
models |
 |
Choose to access the functionality of ExtendSim via an
intranet or the internet |
 |
Have few or no end users with simulation interest or
expertise |
 |
Prefer an Application Service Provider (ASP) or Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS) approach to software licensing |
The ExtendSim ASP license is typically used in combination
with a front end interface (wrapper environment) developed
either by the licensee organization or by a third party. The
wrapper environment uses a COM interface to send data to ExtendSim,
run a model, and retrieve results. It accesses the functionality
of ExtendSim while presenting end users with a standardized
front end, across multiple models, for data entry and the reporting
of results. The combination of an ExtendSim ASP license with
a wrapper environment has the advantages of remote access via
the web, centralized
feature updating, and lower learning curves for non-modelers.
Note: The licensee is responsible for developing any wrapper
environment or front end interface.
Pricing
The ExtendSim ASP license is priced per server installation.
 |
Prices start at $5000. Please contact
Imagine That Inc. for a personalized quote based
on your intended usage. |
 |
There is an annual renewal fee for ASP licenses after
the first year. The renewal fee
is 20% of the original purchase price. |
 |
OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer) |
| Embed
ExtendSim in your application |
The
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) license is for system
builders who want to embed ExtendSim or ExtendSim
technologies within their own applications. This license gives
you the customized right to use and/or sell your product bundled
with ExtendSim or ExtendSim technologies under your branded
name.
