More flexibility with HyperWorks Units
Instead of licensing individual HyperWorks products for each user, the HyperWorks
licensing model allows companies purchase a pool of HyperWorks Units (HWU) for both individual users as well as for engineering departments. When a user launches a HyperWorks application, the required number of units to run the application is automatically checked out from the local or departmental pool of HWU. These HWU are automatically returned to the pool when the application is closed. This licensing model also allows users to run multiple HyperWorks applications simultaneously without checking out more HWU. With the exception of stacked applications and an application which requires more HWU than any active application, no additional HWU will be drawn from the pool. This is a key differentiator to most token based licensing models.
