Both license models include support and updates with initial purchase. This provides users flexibility in how they plan to use and account for the software over time. OrCAD is offered in a perpetual or time-based licensing model. This allows the license to be easily transferred between computers and users. USB Dongle: With this method a license is tied to a USB dongle. This may limit the ability to share the license though as the user’s machine would need to be on the network and active to be shared. No connectivity to an external server is required. The user can then access the license on their machine. Users do need to be able to connect to the server to successfully check out a license with this method.Ĭomputer Host ID: The license is tied to the physical address of the user’s computer (HOST ID or NIC card). This allows licensing and access to be centrally managed. User client machines can then connect to the server to access and check-out the license when in use. Server: The license is hosted on a server using the servers physical address (HOST ID). This can be tied to a server or client machine depending on usage needs. With this method a license is tied to the HOST (aka physical address) of a specific machine. This gives users the flexibility to best leverage their software and ensure consistent usage among potential users. OrCAD uses a floating license model which allows purchased licenses to be shared amongst users (one active user per license available).
