License Types
Node Locked
The node-locked license type grants the right to use the software on one (1) computer. This is sometimes referred to as a "fixed" or "single-computer" license.
Floating
The floating license type allows multiple computers on a network to share a PyroSim license. Each floating license of PyroSim can be used by one (1) computer at a time. When a user closes PyroSim, that floating license becomes available to other users on the network. You can purchase additional copies of the PyroSim floating license to enable simultaneous access by multiple computers. This is sometimes referred to as a "network" or "concurrent use" license.
If you need to work with the software without a network connection, you can request a short-term node-locked license from support@thunderheadeng.com, please request the license with at least 2 business days of lead time to ensure we can provide the support you need.
Maintenance
Maintenance must be purchased annually after the first year to keep your version up-to-date and to receive technical support. Maintenance must be paid continuously to remain in effect.
Volume Licensing Discounts
Save money on multiple licenses! Save 50% on each additional software license of equal or lesser value. Licenses must be purchased at the same time to qualify for the discount.
NOTE: PyroSim and Pathfinder orders can be combined for volume licensing.
Educational Licensing
Free licenses are available for academic, non-commercial use. To apply for an academic license, you or a representative from your organization must fill out the Academic License Application Form.
We will review the application and let you know if you qualify for academic licensing.
Operating Systems
PyroSim supports Windows 7 and later or Windows Server 2012 and later operating systems. PyroSim version 2014.3.1030 was the last release to support 32-bit operation. Newer PyroSim releases are consistent with FDS and require 64-bit operating systems. Users report excellent performance on OSX using either Parallels or VMWare Fusion. PyroSim 2014.4.1105 will run on 64-bit Windows XP, but this is not recommended.
