We would like use 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA.
There are 5 users at our design department.
How many users would you think use 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA simultaneously?
Mmm..?
OK, so let’s see the below 2 scenarios, for example.
[Scenario 1] You have licenses: a + b
a. “PCS (Collaborative Business & Industry Innovator) – Named User type“ *5 lic
b. “MES (Mechanical & Shape Designer) – Named User type *5 lic
[Scenario 1] is like this.
- All the 5 users can use 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA simultaneously.
I see..
[Scenario 2] You have licenses: c + d
c. “PCS (Collaborative Business & Industry Innovator) – Named User type“ *5 lic
d. “MES (Mechanical & Shape Designer) – Shareable type“ *2 lic
[Scenario 2] is like this.
- Up to 2 users (any of 2 users among 5 users) can use 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA at the same time.
* Share 2 licenses: “MES (Mechanical & Shape Designer) – Shareable type“ among 5 users
* More than 2 users cannot use 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA at the same time.
Oh, I understand it.
We should choose license type depending on how we use CATIA!
Yes~!!
You need to consider the cost-effectiveness, too.
Does the price differ between Named User type and Shareable type?
Yes.
Usually, the price of Shareable type is about twice as Named User type.
Can we choose “PCS (Collaborative Business & Industry Innovator) – Shareable type“?
No.
You can NOT choose “PCS (Collaborative Business & Industry Innovator) – Shareable type“.
“PCS (Collaborative Business & Industry Innovator)” is a license for the platform, which is provided only in Named User type.
I understand it.
I will internally discuss which of [Scenario 1] or [Scenario 2] is suitable for us.

* PCS (Collaborative Business & Industry Innovator) is the minimum required package to access 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
