Licensing#

What are subscription-based offerings?#

A subscription-based offering is a business model where a customer pays a subscription price in order to access the products or services.

Why Subscription and not perpetual?#

It is the best way to ensure compatibility and a maximum speed of new improvements to your software.

Subscription benefits#

  • Save money: Every subscription license comes with three free additional viewer licenses. Open and run a “non-editable” edddison configuration on other computers without extra costs.
  • edddison is an add-on for 3D software. Now we offer the same business model as most of the 3D software producers, so no problems can occur in the daily drift.
  • More license options: Per seat subscription or floating license.
  • Floating license: There is no need to buy extra licenses. Use your software at home, when traveling or anywhere.
  • Always up-to-date: Get the latest updates for free. A subscription entitles you to all product updates, including major and minor releases, released during your membership period. You always have the latest version, regardless of when you bought your license.
  • It makes budgeting easy for you, so you can control your spending.
  • Allows customers to easily scale up or down without worrying about extra paperwork.

What are Floating licenses?#

A floating license can be used on multiple machines, as long as the number of opened edddison editors does not exceed the number of licenses.

What are Per seat subscription licenses?#

(also called node-locked license)

A fixed-seat license is limited to one machine. To transfer it, log-in and use the dashboard at edddison.com.

How does edddison know the license key?#

An Internet connection is required to run edddison.

Other license models#

Contact us if you need permanent licenses, bulk order or if you have any specific demand at inbox@edddison.com.

Enterprise license#

A software site license that is issued to a large company. It typically allows unlimited use of the program throughout the organization, although there may be restrictions and limitations. Contact us at inbox@edddison.com.

What is a viewer license?#

Share edddison projects. You can install and run edddison projects on up to three extra computers. Prepare the project at your workstation and then install it on other computers.

What's the difference? edddison viewer projects can not be edited. But still you can change interfaces from e.g. a tabletop system (markers tracked by a webcam) or use the controller on an iPad.

Contact us if you need this license inbox@edddison.com.
