Agilent EEsof EDA License Configuration Guide This guide provides an overview of licensing options which can help a user choose the appropriate product and license configuration that best suits their needs. License types Agilent EEsof provides software products in either a floating or node locked license configuration. Node locked and floating licenses are available either as perpetual or time based products. Product structure Agilent EEsof product structure consists of licensed elements and bundles. A bundle is a collection of licensed product element(s) designed to service a user's workflow. A bundle includes a product environment (UI) and numerous packaged features, and is a cost effective way of providing a broad range of capabilities to a user at an attractive price. Any feature accessed in a bundle will reserve the rest of the features in that bundle for the specific user. An element is a collection of feature(s) designed for a specific task (e.g. a harmonic balance simulator element), and is typically used to extend product capability. An element reserves all features contained within it for the specific user. The relationship between bundles, elements, and features is shown in the figure below: What is sold Bundled = Element + Element Product Product 1 Product 2 Feature A Feature A Feature D Feature B Feature B Feature E How features make up a product Feature C Feature C Feature D Feature E 2 License counting or job control All Agilent EEsof licenses are counted at the product license level. Simulators and certain models/libraries are counted job controlled features--a fixed count is assigned to the feature to regulate concurrent usage of the license. GUI features are not job controlled, and users can have multiple UI windows opened up simultaneously if they want. Bundle and element product trade-offs The table below outlines the trade-offs between bundle only configurations and those configurations that utilize elements with bundles. Description Pros
