Licensing options

OEM Standalone Desktop License

An OEM Standalone Desktop License is the most common type of license, and probably what most people are familiar with for many software products they already use. The license is perpetual, resides on a single computer and is licensed for use on that computer. It can be used by one person at a time. The license can be transferred between computers (needs an assistance from our experts; transfer is a paid service if maintenance is not pre-paid), the number of transfers is limited to 3 per year. This type of license has several limitations, contact our sales representative for more details. This is the option to choose if the license will be used on a single computer, with a limited set of features and only needs to be transferred infrequently.

Server Network Collaboration License

A Network Collaboration License allows multiple user access to Aquila at one time. Requires a client - server installation. In order to use Aquila with this license, the user must have a persistent connection to an application server on which Aquila is hosted. This can be either a server in your facility or a cloud-based server. This option is useful when you want to simultaneously colaborate in Aquila at one time and plan to estimate costs for very large costing cases.

Expert Decommissioning Company License

This type of license is required for companies that provide their decommissioning costing services to their customers. Requires a client - server installation (see Server Network Collaboration License for more details). Includes additional funciontality to group the costing cases by the customers and annual support and maintenance for up to 3 users.
