Sales: License Options
Types of Licenses
IES software, like most, is licensed to you for your use. We have a very "no nonsense" licensing policy designed for easy setup and minimal effort on your part. To that end, IES does not employ hardware locks (dongles) or ultra-complicated systems.
- Single-User Licenses
- Network Concurrent-User Licenses
- Free-Trial Licenses
- Custom Licenses
- Educational/Student Licenses
Single-User Licenses
By far the most popular license type at IES is the single-user license. We recognize that your company owns the license, however, we link it to the name of the person who uses it and will access our technical support services.
We issue a software key that brands the software for a single person to use on up to 3 different machines (e.g. work, home, travel). The key contains the company name and the employee's name.
The software is 'activated' one time either automatically via the Internet, or manually (by email or phone if the Internet is not accessible to the machine) .
Network Concurrent-User Licenses
For larger firms with multiple people who need access to IES software we offer a "floating" license that restricts how many people may use the product at any given time. The cost of this license is higher but offers significantly more end-user flexibility within a company. Licenses may be accessed through a LAN, WAN or VPN system. The license server is an extremely lightweight "service" that uses basic TCP/IP communications and runs on any Windows XP, 2003 Server, or Vista machine. The license key is locked to a single machine name or IP address that must be provided to IES at the time of purchase.
Free-Trial Licenses
If you download and run IES products without a license, they are automatically running as a free-trial license that is restricted. If you are interested in the product you may register it via the Internet or manually by email (just once per machine) and then access all the features of the product. Free trials last about 30 days from the time the software is installed. If the trial period expires it cannot be reset, though you may purchase the product under our 30-day money-back policy, or try it on a different machine.
Custom Licenses
If you have special needs, please contact us regarding special licensing arrangements.
Educational Licenses
IES has an educational outreach program, with educational and student licenses available, primarily for VisualAnalysis. Please see the Academic menu at the top of this page for information about this program.
License Transfers
It is possible to transfer an individual license from one person to another within your company. Please contact the sales office with the details of current and new licensee name(s). You may transfer licenses within your company once per year at no cost. A service charge is required to transfer the license to a different company.
Network concurrent licenses may move to a new license server machine, but there is a cost associated with this, use the online order form's 'Other Items' to purchase this transfer.
