Details
A customer has joined the Solid Edge Startup Program and has got the latest Software of Solid Edge, together with FloEFD Simulation and CAM Pro.
Because of the various products that are included in the Startup Bundle, the Bundle is licensed with a Floating License.
The customer wants to know if it is possible to also use an earlier version of Solid Edge (before Solid Edge 2020).
Solution
Since Solid Edge 2020 we now use Common Licensing as with all other Siemens products. Consequently, it is possible to create a Bundle and to license all products within one single Floating License.
Before Solid Edge 2020 we used a proprietary license with a separate vendor demon.
This is the reason why a pre-Solid Edge 2020 Startup Bundle license can neither be generated or split.
