If there are 3 or more who use ExtendSim part time rather than regularly, a Floating license could be more cost effective than multiple Individual licenses. The Floating license allows ExtendSim to be installed on any number of computers, with concurrent usage restricted to a specified maximum number (you choose how many). It is Client/Server based and users can check out ExtendSim from the network for remote use. Floating licenses are not available for purchase through the ExtendSim Store and must be ordered directly from the ExtendSim Team at ANDRITZ Inc. or your ExtendSim Distributor.

MSP Policy
When you purchase ExtendSim, you are committing to an annual fee to maintain support and upgrades for the software. Renewal fees must be paid within 30 days of your renewal date. If your MSP expires, you will still be able to use ExtendSim to build and run models, but:
- You will no longer be able to launch multiple instances of ExtendSim using Multicore Analysis.
- Free upgrades to major releases are no longer an option.
- Software updates will no longer be accessible to an expired license.
- You will not be able to move or reinstall your license as replacement activation keys only work on current software.
- You can still access Technical Support, however it is no longer free and must be purchased on a Per-Incident Basis.
Reinstatement penalties will be incurred to reactivate the license. In all cases of reinstatement, the Maintenance & Support Plan will be back-dated to the original expiration date.
