Providing customer access to model over internet via browser

We have a customer for whom we've developed a model and provided a written report/data set. They've asked for a way to run the model/experiments on an ongoing basis.

It'd be difficult for them to purchase a runtime license and install FlexSim on a single computer (big corporation).

Do people have any suggestion/example of how they've provided their customers access to the models over the internet?

I'm thinking a FlexSim webserver hosted on our network. We provide a secured access over the internet. We purchase/maintain the runtime license. Do the terms of the runtime license allow for such use?

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.0.3

webserver flexsim 20.0.3 runtime license

@tommy.h2,

The use of a webserver and a runtime license as you've suggested is the right solution in this situation. The purpose of a Runtime License is to run models and change parameters, but not build/create new models from scratch. I've sent this information to your Local Distributor. Feel free to reach out to them as well.

You can also review this article that breaks down the allowed uses for each license type for more detailed information about licenses. Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out with additional questions.
