Licensing of Innovator

License Models

You can only use the complete range of Innovator functions if you have the respective license. You can obtain a license via our distribution partners or directly from MID at vertrieb@mid.de.

Innovator supports two alternative license models:

• Concurrent User License Model (floating licenses always multi-user licenses for one or more workstations)

  Licenses with a license repository are managed via a main license server and can be distributed to internal and external projects. Licenses are floating licenses, i,e, not linked to a particular user and normally without time limitation,

  Licensing depends on the number of users who work simultaneously with a given Innovator product. The license only applies to the Innovator version it was issued with and for older versions. You require a current maintenance agreement to receive a license for the current Innovator version.

• Named User License Model (user licenses)

  Licenses are managed by an MID-operated license server (subscription server). The licenses are linked to concrete users and require registration and online access to the subscription server.

  The user can always use the most current Innovator version with their valid user license. The license is valid for the time frame in which an active license agreement exists. Once the license agreement has ended, the user license can no longer be activated by the subscription server and further use of Innovator is no longer permitted.

Innovator's installation files contain the complete Enterprise Modeling Suite. The license used by the registered user when accessing the program determines which products and functions are available.

Demo License and Test License

Following the installation of Innovator in the Enterprise edition, a demo license is active from the first time the program is run. This can be used for 60 days with a restricted number of model elements. This demo license enables a single user on one computer access to all Innovator functions. You only need to start Innovator to be able to use the demo mode. All components necessary and a demo model are started automatically.

Our distribution partners can issue a test license without any limits at any time for you if you have demanding requirements when testing and evaluating the software, e.g. multi-user operation.
