About Simulation Licensing Schemes

The licensing scheme determines whether you run simulations using credits, tokens, or an embedded system that does not require credits or tokens.

When you run a simulation, you can choose between embedded licensing, credits, or tokens.

  • Embedded licensing is suitable for routine light usage. Embedded licensing is available for a subset of roles.
  • Credits are usually suitable for "burst" usage requirements that vary from day to day.
  • Tokens are usually suitable for consistent simulation usage and dependable pricing.

A fourth licensing option, academic licensing, is available for students, educators, and researchers.
