This table is meant as a reference and guideline. While we strive to maintain this list regularly, it may be out of date at any given time.If an advertised feature of FlexSim is not listed here, it is generally not subject to limitations by license type.
The Express license type is FlexSim's default, unlicensed state. Downloading and installing FlexSim to a new computer, it will be in Express mode. The other license types require you to obtain a license and apply it to the software. Please refer to FlexSim's end user license agreement for details on allowed uses, restrictions, and other considerations. If you wish to test a particular license type, please contact your local distributor to request a test license.
