1. Named User License (QFD_NU) - for individual use

This license type is best suited for standalone use.
It allows only one (specific) person at your company to use the software, it is licensed in that person's name.

• Need: Employee Bob Smith needs to use the software. No other employees need access to the software.

• Solution: Purchase a Named-User license and register it to Bob Smith.

• Need: Employees Bob Smith and Carol Williams need to use the software. No other employees need access to the software.

• Solution: Purchase two Named-User licenses. Register one to Bob Smith and one to Carol Williams.

**Purchasing 5+ Named-User licenses qualifies for pricing discounts. See QUANTITY DISCOUNTS below
 

2. Concurrent User License (QFD_CU) - for networked workgroups

These licenses (also known as "floating"), are ideal for network installation and team use. They greatly simplify license management and software accessibility. Each license provides access to ANY single user from your company at any one time (like a single copy of a book which can be checked out from a library).

The software IS NOT required to be licensed in a person's name but may be licensed to a workgroup/team or other IT contact.

NOTE: If more than one user at a time will need to run the software, you will need one Concurrent-Use license for each. Purchasing multiple Concurrent-Use licenses allows simultaneous access by that corresponding number of users.

• Need: Employees Bob Smith, Carol Williams, Mike Thomas and Fred Peters need access to the software for their product development team but only three of the four of them may use the software at the same time. In addition, other employees may also need access to the software but again, no more than three people will run the software simultaneously.

• Solution: Purchase three Concurrent-User Licenses and install the software on your network server. Any employee may then run the software so long as no more than three people in total run it simultaneously or "concurrently." As a bonus, a **volume purchase like this qualifies for a price discount.

**Purchasing 3+ Concurrent licenses qualifies for pricing discounts. See QUANTITY DISCOUNTS below.
 

3. Divisional - QFD_DIV & Unlimited Enterprise - QFD_UNL

These licenses allow the broadest access possible and the simplest license management of all.

Per-user license fees are often less than $150-$200 per person with volume, lower than a typical office suite tool (e.g. Excel, Word etc.)

For a one time fee, they provides unlimited software use across your Division or Enterprise. Depending on volume, you may get bonuses like FREE training, FREE Maintenance & Support or FREE software Customization. Please call us at 248-433-3380 for pricing and to discuss these options further. The Unlimited License is provided in the Catalyst Suite.
 

Quantity Discounts

Save 10-50% on your software purchase depending on the volume you order. Quantity discounts begin at five (5) Named-User licenses and/or three (3) Concurrent-User Licenses.

Per-user license fees are often less than $150-$200 per person with Unlimited or Divisional volumes, lower than a typical office suite tool (e.g. Excel, Word etc.)
