Fives ProSim’s advantages:

• Easy-to-use software in French and English.
• Services included with the use of the software (Maintenance, Updating, technical assistance and level 1 training).
• Several types of licenses available.
• Tutorials delivered with the software.
• A large library of application examples: the pdf document and the simulation file.

OVERVIEW OF OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAM FOR RESEARCH

Our software are powerful research tools allowing you to, for example, reduce the number of experimental tests, develop new models, validate a new approach or develop new concepts. For these reasons, ProSim’s family of products are used by many leading research departments to perform their research projects or to train young researchers. Researchers receive the same software provided to our industrial customers (complete and unlimited versions). Subscribers also fully benefit from our services of maintenance, update, training and technical support (MUTS Services). In particular, people in charge of research activities have access, free of charge, to our scheduled level1 training sessions (see upcoming schedule and teaching content) related to software used.

When purchasing software licensed for academic research purposes, the university commits to use the software only for academic research and to cite the source of the software in all publications on work conducted with the software. It is in particular forbidden to carry out any engineering study nor consulting service for third parties using the software, even if this is free of charge.

Moreover, this program is limited to “academic” research centers and thus excludes any research center with industrial or commercial purpose.

 

VERY ATTRACTIVE CONDITIONS!

The table below indicates the software which can be licensed for academic research purposes and the corresponding financial conditions. (Please note the additional charge for a borrowable license is 100 € per year).

It is mandatory to establish an “Agreement” between Fives ProSim and the university. This agreement specifies the conditions of use of our software and the obligations of the parties.

 

 

VARIOUS TYPES OF LICENSES 

– “Trial” license: temporary license which is installed automatically with the software, and which can be installed only once on the same computer;

– “Local” license (or standalone): license which allows the utilization of the software on a unique computer.

– “Network” license (or client/server) (LAN or WAN): a license which can be shared among several users through a network. The software is installed on an unlimited number of computers and the license is installed on the server. The license manages a pre-defined number of simultaneous accesses.

The Network license can be “Borrowable”. The borrowing function creates a license (called “Borrowed”) for a specific user, on a specific computer. This allows the software to be used without being connected to the server. Borrowing a license reduces the number of possible simultaneous accesses on the network license by one unit.
