Introduction to Licensing Modeler
Each Modeler client must be licensed. Modeler servers do not require a license. Modeler is supplied with evaluation Modeler licenses that allow new installations of the product to be started. However, the evaluation licenses expire after a specific number of days. During this initial period, you must obtain permanent Modeler licenses from PTC, so that you can continue to use the product after the evaluation Modeler licenses have expired. There are two ways of licensing Modeler:
• Through a local license.
• Through a server-based floating license.
 |
You can borrow a license from a server-based floating license and work locally.
|
• Before using Modeler for the first time, you must start License Manager and specify the location of the license file.
• If you are upgrading Modeler, you will require upgrade or replacement Modeler licenses. For more information, see the Modeler Release Notes. If you have a maintenance agreement with PTC, you should receive an email that provides instructions for obtaining the upgrade and replacement licenses.
