Licensing question....

Is this possible?

Fist off, I have already talked to my VAR, but I believe he didn't quite
understand my question.

Currently, we have two seats of SWX Office Professional. These are
floating licenses, and include two concurrent licenses for PDMWorks and
two concurrent licenses for SWX. Having grown our staff in the last
year, we have several project engineers who have learned to use the
PDMWorks repository for read-only access. We would like to add a couple
more PDMWorks licenses to our network to allow more concurrent users to
access the data. Due to SolidWorks pricing, the stand alone licenses
for PDMWorks are $495 and the floating are $995. Is it possible for us
to purchase two stand alone licenses that will be used on the two design
workstations, and then the two floating licenses would be available for
the 6 project engineers to share? This would end up with the floating
SWX license being utilized with a fixed PDMWx license.

Is this at all possible, or am I just dreaming, and should buy floating?
the double price tag is what is going to kill me when I talk to the
boss man.

Thanks,
Dave

 

I believe the floating PDM licences need a dongle to work on a
non-SolidWorks station. Thats what we were given when we bought some
extra PDM Works stand-alone licences (2 years ago).
