Noran Engineering, Inc. to Introduce Token Based Pricing and Delivery
Noran Engineering, Inc. (Westminster, CA; http://www.NENastran.com ) announced NEiNastran V9.0 will contain token based pricing which will allow for additional technology at a fraction of the cost. Noran Engineering, Inc. will be using the industry standard FLEXnet Manager from Macrovision. With FLEXnet Manager, organizations can optimize software spending, simplify license administration, and ensure end users have access to the licenses they need to do their jobs.
"We are very pleased to be able to respond to the demand of our customers as well as the requirements presented by our newer opportunities in the CAE community," says Dave Branch, vice president of sales. "Not only will this functionality assist our end-users but this will allow Noran Engineering to apply token based solutions to our NEiNastran and NEiWorks suites of products. Previously, our NEiNastran solver would be priced by the seat only, based on the need for a linear solution or a nonlinear solution. These tokens represent a whole new way for users to obtain the tool they need for the job thus providing a higher value for their investment."
Noran's director of software development, Sisira Jayasinghe commented, "By adding the options available with the FLEXnet token approach, our growing number of SolidWorks users for example can have the capability of distinguishing their NEiWorks meshing and NEiNastran solving routines, thereby maximizing the usage of the actual number of licenses being acquired. It is a much more efficient way to manage their software resources."
Macrovision Corporation is the market leader in content protection, software licensing and installation, and digital rights management (DRM) technologies.
