The Demo is a limited version of ExtendSim designed for those want to:

	Evaluate the ExtendSim line of products
	Run models built by others

The ExtendSim Demo is available as a free download. It includes a limited version of ExtendSim featuring all four products, plus electronic versions of the ExtendSim manuals, example models, and video tutorials that illustrate ExtendSim capabilities.

The ExtendSim Demo 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)
	Use it as a Player to run models of any size and view simulation results
	Build (but not save) small models (75 blocks or less)
	Change (but not save) parameters in any size model
	Add or remove blocks and change connection lines in existing small models (75 blocks or less; additions and changes are not saved)*
	Create new blocks and save them in libraries
*	Full versions of the ExtendSim products allow you to build models of any size, save changes to existing models and save the models themselves, print model worksheets, and use scripting to automatically construct a model.

Although the following capabilities are available in the full version, with the Demo you cannot:

	Save models you build.
	Save changes to existing models.
	Print model worksheets.
	Use scripting or ActiveX automation to run or construct a model. (If you would like this capability, see the Distributed Analysis license.)

For more capability, see the LT version of ExtendSim.

Demo example models

When you launch ExtendSim Demo, the Getting Started window appears. Use it to:

	Learn how to run and build ExtendSim models through video clips, example models, and tutorials.
	Explore sample models discovering ExtendSim capabilities such as 3D animation, linking to internal databases for data storage and management, optimization, hierarchy, built-in authoring environment, activity-based costing, resource management, etc.
	Determine which ExtendSim product is right for you: ExtendSim Suite, ExtendSim AT, ExtendSim OR, or ExtendSim CP.

As your evaluation progresses, ExtendSim Help is available at every step:

	The ExtendSim User Guide and Developer Reference are available as electronic files. (Printed manuals are available for purchase through the ExtendSim Store.)
	ExtendSim help – in-product help such as block help and tool tips plus FAQs and support pages.
	Networking – find ExtendSim user forums, networks, and blogs.

		It's an easy and cost effective method to stay current with the latest release of software.
		Minimize support and training costs by ensuring that all users are using the same version.
		No release schedules to track, no orders to place, no additional payments are required.
		Reduce the cost and time of generating Purchase Orders for subsequent releases.

Maintenance Plans must be renewed on an annual basis to continue receiving support, upgrades, discounts, and other special offers. If you do not yet own a Maintenance Plan, registered ExtendSim users can still add Maintenance within 60 days of the product purchase date.

All maintenance fees are payable in advance and non-refundable; shipping and handling charges for all releases are included.

Purchasing a Maintenance Plan

Concurrent-user (network) licenses of ExtendSim – the annual Maintenance Plan for support and upgrades is required. For the first year, the Maintenance Plan is included in the price of the product; it must be renewed annually after the first year.

Single-user (stand alone) licenses of ExtendSim – an annual Maintenance Plan for support and upgrades is optional but highly recommended. When you purchase or upgrade ExtendSim (single user licenses only), you have the option to purchase an ExtendSim Maintenance Plan. Each subsequent year, the registered end user or license administrator of the ExtendSim license will be notified by email that renewal of the Maintenance Plan is due. (Please keep us informed if there is a change in end user or license administrator as late or missed payments are subject to reinstatement fees.)

Maintenance Plan Cost

Maintenance Plans must be purchased:

		when purchasing a single-user ExtendSim license.
		when upgrading your single-user ExtendSim license.
		within 60 days of purchasing or upgrading ExtendSim.

The annual fee for the Maintenance Plan is based on the ExtendSim package you are purchasing or upgrading.

Package	Annual fee per license
ExtendSim CP	$199
ExtendSim OR	$399
ExtendSim AT	$499
ExtendSim Suite	$899

If you own multiple ExtendSim licenses, each license will need its own Maintenance Plan. Maintenance fees can be prorated so your renewal date is the same for each license and, hence, we can provide you with a combined invoice for all your licenses and a single CD containing software upgrades shipped to a single location within your company as specified by you.

Annual fees must be paid within 30 days of renewal date or the Maintenance Plan for that license is subject to reinstatement charges.

What if I decide to not purchase a Maintenance Plan

		If a Maintenance Plan is purchased for the license
		Maintenance Plans cover basic usage questions and troubleshooting by our support staff as well as upgrades to major releases. A Maintenance Plan subscription can only be purchased when a new single-user license or upgrade is purchased or within 60 days of that purchase.
		If a Maintenance Plan is NOT purchased for the license
		The Imagine That Inc. support staff will provide complimentary technical assistance for installation questions or bug reports related to the current release. The support staff will provide complimentary assistance for basic usage questions and troubleshooting for a limited time. This support expires 60 days after the purchase of a new product or upgrade. (A Maintenance Plan may be purchased during this period.)   For usage questions and troubleshooting after the first 60 days, purchase support on a per-incident basis; each incident is a discussion and resolution of one issue. Per-Incident Support can be purchased from our sales staff or through the ExtendSim Store.

These custom licenses give you the right to distribute either the ExtendSim Demo or ExtendSim LT on a CD or with a book.

An ASP (aka SaaS) 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 typically via a user-defined form 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.

A Distributed Analysis license boosts the performance of your full version of ExtendSim by off-loading or distributing the analysis of your model/s to one or more separate computers via a specialized version of ExtendSim LT.

As opposed to the ASP license which is used to propagate the power of ExtendSim simulation engine to other users, the Distributed Analysis license is for personal use to distribute analysis of a model to another computer.

A Distributed Analysis license would be useful in the case where:

1	You have developed a model on your primary computer using a full version of ExtendSim
2	The model requires extensive analysis, for instance, Optimization, which can have long run times
3	You want to off-load that analysis to one or more secondary computers
4	You want to be able to remotely, rather than directly, send data to and start models running on the secondary computers
5	You want the secondary computers to automatically send model results back to your primary computer
6	You have programming capability, especially knowledge of ActiveX/COM for interfacing with ExtendSim

Note the following:

	This license is for each person's own use; an ExtendSim ASP license is required if you want to distribute ExtendSim functionality to other users
	It requires that you also have one full version of ExtendSim
	The Distributed Analysis license is an enhancement to the standard LT license. It allows you to remotely cause the model to run and send data back and forth between  computers; the standard LT license does not allow that. (You could do steps 1 to 3 above using the standard LT license, but you cannot use it to do steps 4 and 5.)
	ExtendSim has the hooks to allow it to be controlled as an Automation (ActiveX/COM) server. But you must know how to program in a language such as Visual Basic, an application that can use ActiveX/COM to control ExtendSim. (Your custom application will cause ExtendSim models to run and send data remotely.)
	Distributed Analysis licenses are available for Windows only

Pricing

Cost is $295 per license. Each license can be installed on 1 computer, so multiple computers require multiple licenses.

As Distributed Analysis licenses are custom ExtendSim licenses, they must be ordered directly from Imagine That Inc. or your local ExtendSim Distributor. They are not available for download through the ExtendSim Store.

The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) license is for system builders who want to embed the simulation power of 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.

Pricing

Pricing starts at $50,000. Please contact Imagine That Inc. for a personalized quote based on your intended usage.
