Algor, Inc. Introduces Floating Concurrent Usage Licensing for Mechanical Engineers

Algor, Inc., a leading provider of software for mechanical engineers, has introduced a novel licensing approach that enables multiple users to access their comprehensive line of CAD/CAE interoperability, finite element modeling, and Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) software from any computer over a network. This concurrent usage licensing model allows organizations to purchase the number of licenses needed, providing significant cost and time savings.

Key Takeaways:

• Algor's software includes a built-in concurrent usage monitoring feature that is self-maintaining and activated automatically when the software is installed.
• The company offers special concurrent-user pricing for its entire line of mechanical engineering software for PC workstations running on Windows NT, 95, 98, or 2000.
• Algor's software has been adopted by 20,000 engineers in 60 countries, who use it to create safe, efficient, and cost-effective designs.
