A license model that matches your technical environment<\/h2>\n

PCB-Investigator provides several license systems so the software can fit your infrastructure instead of forcing your team into a one-size-fits-all setup. Whether you work with distributed engineering teams, internal company networks, or secure single-user environments, there is a licensing option that aligns with the way you operate.<\/p>\n

In PCB analysis and electronics development, access to the right tools should never become a bottleneck. Different organizations have different priorities: some need global availability, some need centralized control, and others need maximum independence from network infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The available licensing options<\/h2>\n

SOD (Software on Demand \/ Online License)<\/strong> is designed for distributed teams, home offices, and users working from multiple locations. Licenses can be accessed worldwide without a physical hardware connection. Central license management, statistics, and logging provide strong administrative visibility. A stable internet connection is required.<\/p>\n

Floating License<\/strong> runs through an internal license server within the company network. Multiple users can draw licenses from a shared pool, which improves utilization and avoids assigning a dedicated license to every person. This setup does not require public internet access, but the internal server must remain continuously available.<\/p>\n

Dongle License<\/strong> is based on a physical USB dongle that must be connected to the machine to activate the software. It offers strong hardware-bound security and works independently of network or server infrastructure. This makes it a good fit for single users or highly secure environments.<\/p>\n

Why this matters in real projects<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • You can match licensing to your IT, security, and deployment strategy.<\/li>\n
  • You improve license utilization across teams and departments.<\/li>\n
  • You simplify administration with centralized or local control.<\/li>\n
  • You keep access stable for the way your engineers actually work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The best license model is not just convenient. It is operationally sound.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    If you are evaluating PCB-Investigator for your organization, the license system is worth a close look. It can make the difference between a tool that merely works and one that fits seamlessly into your engineering environment.<\/p>\n
