ProgeCAD NLM (NETWORK EDITION) is the next generation of progeCAD and represents state of the art IntelliCAD® evolution.

Why get an NLM (Floating License) ?

Getting an NLM (or floating license) can help keep costs down for your team. Say you need 10 x users with access to CAD - but only one at any one time. An NLM license allows you to float one seat between the entire group on the network. There is also the ability to take away a license from the network if the user is off site.

Contact AxonWare to discuss volume licensing.

SLM - Single license
can be registered on one PC at a time (license can be moved onto another PC)


NLM - Network Licenses
can be installed on unlimited PCs in the network and used at the same time by several users according to the purchased licenses (1 NLM=1 concurrent user). The number of network floating licenses determines how many users can work with the product concurrently, so in accordance with this the necessary number of licenses should be acquired. License Take-Away: NLM licenses can be temporarily moved onto a laptop or a remote PC to be used offline. Max flexibility!
