Licensing Options

Use software flexibly across the world, a continent, or one city 

Depending on the model you choose, our floating license models allow you to use a single license worldwide, continent-wide, or within one city. This increases your license utilization and reduces license management effort. 

All floating license models allow for offline borrowing of a license from your floating license pool for up to 7 days, such as for a business trip or a conference. One user can run multiple instances of the software on the same computer without each one counting as a separate license. Each license includes different functions.

If you are a global company and want to use a single license worldwide at different locations in different time zones, Global Floating is the perfect license model for you. Compared to other license models, Global Floating requires fewer licenses because you can use  one license throughout the world.

Continental Floating

If you are a company with multiple sites across one continent, you can now share licenses across one continent. The new Continental Floating Licenses are available for usage in the Americas, EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), or the Asia-Pacific region.

Local Floating

If you are a company with multiple users in one city who do not use the software full-time, you can now share licenses across one city. Compared to a Dongle License, the new Local Floating License requires no effort to transport the dongle and avoids the risk of losing it.

Please note: The license server for the new Floating Licenses is available free of charge and can also be installed on a virtual server. If you already have a Flexera server, you can also use it for Volume Graphics software.

Available for: VGSTUDIO MAX packages and packages with further add-on modules, VGMETROLOGY, and VGMETROLOGY ES (both with or without add-on 
modules)

Use software exclusively on a specific computer 

If you know exactly what you need and where you’ll need it, we recommend a node-locked license. The software is installed on the computer on which it is currently used. The node-locked license binds the software to this computer. A node-locked license allows one user to run multiple instances of the software on one computer. 

Please note: Once installed, the computer and platform are fixed. 

Available for: VGSTUDIO MAX, VGSTUDIO, VGMETROLOGY, and VGMETROLOGY ES

Use software alternately on several computers without a network 

Choose the dongle license if you want to use the software flexibly on different computers that are not connected to a network. 

The dongle license consists of a hardware dongle and a license issued for this dongle. The software can be installed on any number of computers but can only be used when the dongle is connected to the computer. A dongle license allows one user to run multiple instances of the software on one computer.

Please note: Only one dongle is issued per license. A loss of the dongle will result in a loss of the license. 

Available for: VGSTUDIO MAX, VGSTUDIO, VGMETROLOGY, VGMETROLOGY ES, and VGinLINE

To minimize costs should your dongle become lost or stolen, we offer the Dongle License Protection with a term of 12 months. In the event of loss, we will provide you with a new dongle and a new license for the remaining term for a fee of 2 % of the original list price of the software plus the applicable VAT per month or part thereof and a fixed handling fee. 
 

Available for: Dongle License Protection is available for an annual fee or free of charge on request if you purchase an update/service agreement.

The update/service agreement keeps your software up to date at a reasonable price. Keep up with all current developments in the analysis and visualization of industrial CT data and save money compared to the regular upgrade price. During the one-year term of the update/ service agreement, you will receive all upgrades and bug fixes free of charge. In addition, you will enjoy priority support.
