Named User Licensing

Named user licensing allows unique “users”, identified using their email credentials from Altair One for authorization and software use. The unique user herein is part of the organization (company) that has procured the software for using the Altair Managed Licenses. The Company administrator (admin) has access through the Altair One Managed Licensing portal to manage the users in the account. Only selected products are available under the Named User licensing.

Altair License Manager

Altair Simulation 2022.3 products require the Altair License Manager 15.1 or the latest version. The License Manager is compatible with previous versions of Altair software.

Note: Altair Simulation products that have upgraded the ALSDK to v15.1 no longer work with Altair License Manager 14.5.1 or older.

For more information, reference the Altair Units Licensing section in the Altair Simulation documentation.

Enhancements

Updates to Existing License Feature Names: Several product license feature names have been updated. See details in the Altair Units Licensing section of the Altair Simulation documentation.

Resolved Issues

The leveling/stacking units error during the solver backfill process.
