Todo:: Update license according to new library structure and more.

License Types

You can hold licenses for different packages for use of FhSim. These licenses can be combined to tailor a solution for the licensee. The different packages are explained below.

A. Basic package.

This includes executable programs and basic models. Licensee can set up and run simulations with the basic models. This consists of simpler models, such as general signal sources, simple environmental models, rigid bodies, mathematical operations, cables, routing, anchor and simple vessels.

B. Model Library.

Licensee can run FhSim with additional models from separate model libraries. This package provides service based on FhSim, but not redistribution and resale of applications, including online services. It can be selected from the following model libraries:

Marine environment: Marine environment with more advanced models for waves and power.
Trawl: For example, simplified vessels, nets, wooden doors and cables suitable for wheel simulations.
Aquaculture: For example, cables and cages suitable for simulation of aquaculture plants.
Anchor handling: For example cables and anchor suitable for simulation of anchor handling.
Ships: Various vessels with more advanced modeling of vessel and wave interaction.
FhSim Pro: Covers all of the aforementioned model libraries and gives access to all unbound models.

Note that some libraries may benefit from models in other libraries. For example, the Ships library will increase functionality if you have the Marine Environment available.

C. Model development.

Licensee can develop own models. Sales of self-developed models are allowed. Redistribution and resale of licensed models is not allowed except in combination with license E.

D. Integration in own tools.

Licensee may include FhSim in own indoor applications. Redistribution and resale of applications, including online services, are not Allowed except in conjunction with License E.

E. Distribution of applications.

Licensee may distribute applications and software using FhSim pursuant to a separate agreement entered into the individual case.
