Altair Units
More than 20 years ago, we revolutionized how engineers and organizations accessed our leading simulation software with HyperWorks Units - a groundbreaking value-based licensing system. Then we introduced solidThinking Units to the market in 2018.
To further evolve our unique business model, we are introducing Altair Units, our new, unified licensing system that gives access to every Altair product and the power to solve on any scale. This new model delivers enhanced inclusivity at various price points and will allow customers to maximize their software dollars through the flexibility to run software anywhere, freedom to choose from a variety of software tools with unparalleled value from our unique business model.
Flexibility to Run Anywhere
Customers have full access to all our software instantly, including more than 150 Altair and partner products, and can run these applications on-demand locally, in the cloud, or in a hybrid setup.
Freedom to Choose
By consolidation of the software environment, the same licenses can be used for many different applications. Consolidation also helps with containing management costs, as well as eliminating restrictions floating within a zone.
Value-based Licensing
End users can use a variety of pre- and post-processors simultaneously on a machine and drawing only units for the most valuable product. Solver instances also level on desktop offering tremendous value and savings of over 70%.
Units-based Subscription Model
Altair pioneered a patented, units-based subscription licensing model for software which has transformed the way our customers streamline product innovation and get to market faster. Customers have full access to every Altair product and Altair Partner product, plus the power to solve on any scale. Packaged as a comprehensive set of applications, our units-based structure is scalable, shareable, and more cost effective than obtaining individual licenses.
Licensing is as easy as 1-2-3:
- Customers purchase a pool of sharable units
- Users draw units from the pool to access multiple products, across any location
- Units return to the pool after use and become available to all users
