License Information

Hello Ryan,

Greetings for the day!!!

The main difference between Masterkey and MSCOne licenses lies in their token usage and integration. Masterkey licenses require separate tokens for different features, while MSCOne integrates certain features, reducing the need for additional tokens.

The Masterkey and MSCOne licenses differ primarily in how they handle token allocation for software features:

• Masterkey License: This license type requires separate tokens for each feature. For example, when running a Nastran SOL 153 analysis, Masterkey checks out 250 tokens for Nastran and an additional 70 tokens for NA_Thermal¹. This means that each feature requires its own set of tokens, which can lead to issues if the required tokens are not available.

• MSCOne License: In contrast, MSCOne integrates certain features into the basic Nastran feature, which reduces the number of tokens needed. For instance, in the same Nastran SOL 153 analysis, MSCOne only checks out 13 tokens for Nastran because the NA_Thermal feature is already integrated into the Nastran feature in MSCOne¹. This integration allows for more efficient use of tokens, as fewer are needed for the same operations.

Hello Ijajahmed,

Where is the formal definition of the licences?

I want the full details of how many tokens each programme uses etc.

You answer is helpful but details are limited and is a bit informal for a product definition.

Hello Ryan,

A license in the context of Hexagon MI software refers to the authorization to use specific software features or products. It involves a process of validation and management, often using systems like FLEXlm, to ensure that the software is used according to the terms agreed upon by the user and the provider.

MasterKay Plus License Token table is restricted and hence, I am unable to attach that link here.

If you need further assistance, please raise request by sending an email with details to support@mscsoftware.com

Thank you

That link gives me an error:

I honestly think it is ridiculous that it is so difficult to get the token tables for the products we have already bought.

I have contacted sales but they are slow to respond and apparently they can be pushy to make us convert our licenses which is even more frustrating as we don't have the token tables to give it proper consideration.

Might be time for us to move to Simscape multibody instead.
