Features optimized for Industrial Automation

• Small footprint, embedded client: The FLEXnet Suite offers a licensing toolkit which provides node-locked licensing and has a very small footprint (under 50K). This allows Industrial Automation device manufacturers to keep costs low by using licensing to configure capabilities and capacity on a device while producing a minimum number of device types (SKUs).
• High configurability: FLEXnet Suite for industrial automation providers allows key elements such as security and binding to be configured or replaced as needed. This provides additional flexibility for Industrial Automation manufacturers to fine-tune the Acresso solution to meet exact requirements or take advantage of existing device capabilities, while keeping the footprint small.
• Hands free activation and silent trials: FLEXnet Suite offers “Trusted Storage” feature hands-free activation and silent trials that don’t require registration. This transparent in-product activation improves customer experience and increases upgrade up-selling by enabling silent trials for new capabilities.
