HyperWorks and HyperMesh allow access to several applications. The number of Altair Units (AUs) drawn by each application varies. The Altair License Manager remembers the highest watermark for an instance of HyperWorks. For example, if HyperGraph or HyperWorks HG is launched, first (6 AUs) are drawn, and if a HyperView window is added to the same session, the number of AUs increases from 6 to 21. Switching back to the HyperGraph window (with or without closing the HyperView window) keeps total unit count at 21 AUs.
