Here is a list of license types we offer with HSMAdvisor:

• Floating License (Unlimited)
• Floating License (Subscription)
• Floating License (1 or 3 Horse Power)
• Permanent License

Floating License (Unlimited)

Floating License offers customers mobility
Each purchased seat of the software can be used non-concurrently (a seat can run only on ONE computer at a time) on multiple computers.

This License Type is perpetual and is sold for a one-time payment. It includes free updates and support forever.

This License Type requires an Internet connection every time a seat is to be renewed.
The amount of time a seat can remain on one computer is called the "Floating License Parking Period."
The duration of each License Parking Period is controlled by the user himself and can vary from 10 minutes to 30 days.

Users can easily increase the number of concurrent seats (the number of seats that can run on multiple computers simultaneously) by purchasing additional ones using existing Account Details.

Floating License (Subscription)

The benefit of the subscription-based license is that it offers the same features and functionality as the unlimited version, but with the flexibility of paying on a monthly basis. This allows the user to have access to the software as long as they continue to pay for it, and the ability to cancel the license at any time.

Floating License (1 or 3 Horse Power)

This License Type behaves exactly like the Unlimited Floating License. It also never expires and carries lifetime support and updates.

With the exception that the calculations are limited to 1 or 3 Horse Power.
This License type was created for owners of light hobby CNC machines and routers.

The limit only kicks in after 1 or 3 years from the day of purchase.

You can, at any point, buy another License and get unlimited power again.
Using your old credentials will also add total Horse Power to your license.

You can also ask us to upgrade to any Unlimited License type by paying the difference.

Permanent License

This License type does not require an Internet connection at all.
It is ideal for cases when a computer is not connected to the Internet.

This License Type is sold once per seat or a number of seats. It includes free lifetime updates and support.

After purchase, each computer has to be registered using its Computer ID key. An individual Serial Number will be issued for each computer that the permanent seat was purchased.

Users can purchase additional seats on an as-needed basis.

A Permanent Seat can be transferred to another computer for free - No questions asked.
Please install HSMAdvisor on the new Computer and email us your original purchase confirmation with your new Computer ID.

When installing HSMAdvisor on a new computer, you will be given a 30-day Trial Period to register your software, transfer the license, or purchase another seat.

• Account Details

The Floating License allows for the installation of HSMAdvisor on multiple computers, but it can only be used simultaneously on the number of computers that correspond to the number of seats purchased.

This licensing scheme is ideal for cases where HSMAdvisor has to be installed on large number of computers and used by few individuals concurrently.

Typical usage

• An individual machinist or a programmer has Single Seat floating License and uses it on multiple computers throughout the day.
  (Example: Steve buys One Seat and uses it at his home, and at work. He also works part-time for another shop where he can also use the same floating license as well)
• An organization has a large number of computer workstations with HSMAdvisor installed on many of them, but only few programmers at a time will be using the software.
  (Example: Company N has 8 workstations with HSMAdvisor installed on all if them. But only has 3 programmers who could use it at the same time)

Purchasing

To purchase a Floating License go to the online store, and select the Floating License product you require.
