So I hope that in the future Siemens PLM will start paying attention to smaller businesses and freelance professionals in the market and will find it also profitable to deliver NX in a much more scalable, transparent and flexible way ( Autodesk way maybe?).Īny news of Siemens PLM working on that direction would be very much welcome. The whole purchasing process is also quite obscure, since no webpage or document really states exactly what you get with each bundle (in datasheet format for example) and it takes a lot of phone calls with your distributor to get an idea.
It's too bad that the big, expensive chunks in which you can buy/rent it now make your whole business strategy gravitate towards it. There is no way now of paying only for the time you use NX, and paying only for those parts of it that you use. I really thought/hoped that it was a step towards a more flexible way of accessing NX.Īs much as I love NX interface and functionalities, I find the whole distribution and pricing policy completely rigid and hard to tackle when starting a small business. RE: Siemens Nx on the Cloud and Licensing DavidDEC (Mechanical) To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. For us old-timers, we can remember the days when people used RJE (Remote Job Entry) set-ups to connect, often over dial-up lines, to some 'mainframe' located at some remote facility, usually run by some service provider like McAuto, UCC (Univeristy Computing Company), etc. Actually, this is not all that NEW of an idea.

The cloud does NOT change our licensing procedures nor policies, it's merely the next iteration of how people are going to be accessing the software that they've purchased and the data that they're creating.

If you're talking about a license for a single SEAT of NX then no matter where the software or the licence is being served from, the cloud or the desktop PC in the next room, only ONE user at a time will be allowed to log into NX and run a session. Thank you RE: Siemens Nx on the Cloud and Licensing JohnRBaker (Mechanical) 6 May 14 10:31 Is this technically and legally possible?Īny other suggestions on technically and legally feasible ways to spend less money on licensing would be welcome. The cost of the license would then be optimized since it could be used by a few more users than just one.
#Siemens nx license cost install#
Yesterday I came accross this article about Turkish Aerospace Industries deploying Siemens NX in a private cloud environment:įrom what I would like to understand in the article, it would be possible to install one single license of NX on a dedicated server, and have different users logging in to this server and running different instances of NX on that single license. So one of my main concerns right now is the relatively high price (from the point of view of a small entrepeneur) of NX licenses. Right now I'm in the process of becoming a freelance design engineer using Siemens NX, and have some plans of expanding in the future to creating a small company.
