How can I get the same outcome with different licenses?

Hi all,

We have made a model for a customer. The outcomes of the simulation however differ between the customers pc and mine. I have an enterprise license and the customer has a runtime license. I have run the model at a different pc at our office ( a pc with a runtime license ) and that gave indeed a different outcome than on my normal pc, with the enterprise license.

It looks like the difference is in the random numbers used, so in the random seed that is used.

Is it possible to make sure that someone with a runtime license gets the same outcome as someone who is using an enterprise license, and if so how can that be achieved?

Thank you,

Patrick

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.2.1

It turns out that the random numbers are not the problem.

With the run time license the model outcomes change each time I run the simulation, even when repeat random stream is selected. When I run the model with an enterprise license the outcomes are the same each time.

How can it be that the license type influences the outcomes?

Thank you all,

Patrick

Note: I have made an almost similar private post, for if you need to look at the model.

This is not a licensing problem, but rather either an issue in the model or a bug in the software. It is currently being debugged in the private thread.
