Export Control: LSAS-Technology is export controlled by the US Government. In order to be given access to our technology, we must know about your company/organization, we must understand your needs and your potential usage of the technology, among other items as request. LSAS can help determine what type of export control licenses are required for you to access our technology. Due to complexity with certain Export Control groups, please allow time for the team to analyze your requests. Once the export control process is complete, we can continue with the process of getting you access to our technology. 

Understanding License Types: There are many different types and durations of the licenses. The sales team can provide more information about the license structure and offer a license solution that best suits your needs.

LSAS-Tec can provide different time constraints on the licenses. LSAS offers Permanent/”Paid-Up” licenses which allow these premium products to be used forever at the current version. To maintain the latest version, annual Software Maintenance is required. We also offer Lease licenses which allow the products to be used for a limited period of time on the latest version. Lease licenses are paid with 1 year lease usually. We also offer evaluations licenses for prospective customers, in order to trial the software, usually lasting for 15 to 30 days. 

LSAS-Tec offers different types of licenses Node-locked License for almost all technology and Networked Licenses for some of our technology. Node-locked licenses are product licenses that are tied/locked to an individual workstation. There are different ways to connect these licenses to a workstation but all require information about the workstation from the user. 

Network licenses are licenses hosted by a license server. These licenses are tied/locked to an individual server, but the licenses are hosted to anyone on that same network. Users who have access to the license server can get a license for the technology on their workstation. Network Licenses require the License Management Center to be installed on a server. The client users can set their local Licensing Client Setting application to point the license server. The License Server can also be installed locally to serve the licenses only to the current machine, acting as a Server and Client.

*Ansys products are provided as network licenses only, but the Ansys License Management Center can be installed locally to serve the Ansys licenses only to the current machine, acting as a Server and Client which essentially is a Node-locked license.

**LSAS products are provided as Node-locked licenses. However, other flexible licensing approaches are possible, please ask our team for more information.
