Licensing that fits the way you use ExtendSim
With ExtendSim 2026, choose the License Type that fits how you want to purchase the software, then select the License Option that fits how it will be used.
License Type → Choose Subscription or Perpetual.
License Option → Choose Individual, Floating, or Node-Locked.
Whether ExtendSim is used by one person, shared across a team, or installed on a dedicated workstation, you can configure a license to fit your environment.
1 - Choose Your License Type
Subscription
A Subscription license gives you the right to use ExtendSim for the duration of your active subscription.
An ExtendSim Subscription license gives you continuous access to the latest release of ExtendSim — no upgrade costs, ever. An active Subscription includes:
- Access to all updates, patches, and compatibility fixes, plus upgrades to new major releases.
- Full technical assistance with installation, activation, troubleshooting, and basic usage questions.
- Predictable annual budgeting at a lower upfront cost for new licenses.
- Your work remains yours forever. If a Subscription is not renewed, ExtendSim will no longer launch; however, all models, blocks, and libraries you create remain your property and are not tied to the Subscription.
Renew anytime if a Subscription lapses.
Best for: Teams who want a low entry price and simple annual pricing for the latest features, updates, upgrades, and support.
Perpetual license + Maintenance & Support Plan (MSP)
A Perpetual license provides permanent lifetime ownership of whichever ExtendSim product and release you purchase. Coupling a Perpetual License with an annual MSP provides ongoing access to technical support, product updates, major upgrades, and other benefits that help you maximize your ExtendSim investment. The first year of the MSP is included with every new Perpetual ExtendSim Pro license. Maintaining an active MSP provides for:
- Access to all updates, patches, and compatibility fixes, plus upgrades to new major releases.
- Full technical assistance with installation, activation, troubleshooting, and basic usage questions.
- After the first year, MSP must be renewed annually to remain active. If MSP lapses, you may continue using your licensed ExtendSim release indefinitely, but you will no longer receive updates, upgrades, or MSP benefits.
Best for: Organizations that prefer long-term software ownership and want to avoid an expiring license. Also ideal for customers upgrading existing ExtendSim licenses that are current on MSP.
2 - Choose Your License Option
Individual
For one person using ExtendSim
An Individual license is assigned to a single named user and is a good choice when one person will be the primary ExtendSim user.
Best for:
- A dedicated ExtendSim user
- Individual analysts, engineers, researchers, or students
- Users who don't need to share a license with others
Available for: ExtendSim Pro • ExtendSim CP • Analysis RunTime
Floating
For concurrent use across multiple computers
A Floating license is designed for organizations with multiple ExtendSim users who don't all need to use the software at the same time.
ExtendSim can be installed on multiple client computers, while the License Manager on a server controls how many licenses may be used concurrently. Licenses can be checked out from the License Managere for offline use.
Best for:
- Teams that share ExtendSim
- Organizations with occasional or part-time users
- Environments where users need ExtendSim on different computers
Available for: ExtendSim Pro • ExtendSim CP • Analysis RunTime
Floating License Management
Floating licenses use the ExtendSim License Manager to manage concurrent use across your organization. ExtendSim is installed on client computers, while the License Manager tracks available licenses and controls access.
Global Floating
Need users in multiple regions?
A Global Floating license extends the Floating licensing model for organizations that need broader geographic availability.
Node-Locked
For multiple users sharing one computer
A Node-Locked license is tied to a single computer and allows multiple users to access ExtendSim sequentially on that computer.
It's particularly useful for shared workstations or controlled environments where several people need access to ExtendSim, but only from one machine.
The current page specifies that Node-Locked is intended for sequential use, can be installed on only one physical computer, and does not support installation on a virtual machine or remote access.
Best for:
- Shared workstations
- Labs
- Secure environments
- Multiple users who use the same computer at different times
Available for: ExtendSim Pro • ExtendSim CP • Analysis RunTime
3 - It's Easy to Find the Right Fit
Just choose your ExtendSim product, decide whether you prefer a Subscription or Perpetual license, and select the License Option that works best for you or your team.
For example:
- For one person who wants ExtendSim Pro with a subscription license →
ExtendSim Pro + Subscription + Individual - For a team that wants to share concurrent access to ExtendSim CP with a perpetual license →
ExtendSim CP + Perpetual + Floating - For multiple users who need access to Analysis RunTime on the same computer →
Analysis RunTime + Subscription + Node-Locked
Product + License Type + License Option. That’s all there is to it.
