With over 110 products and access to new modules from day one, Value Based Licensing is the perfect tool to implement for greater flexibility, and is for everyone.<br>Whether you are an SMB or MLE, you can maintain complete control over your token pool. It maybe the case that you only need 100 tokens within your pool, or you may need substantially more than this. No matter the need, we&#8217;ll tailor your experience so that you only have access to the tokens that you need.

Whichever option you choose, a checked back license can be accessed by a different user once a specific task is completed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#00e6e6;color:#00e6e6\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The power of flexibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s explore why Value Based Licensing provides you with a greater level of flexibility. Typically speaking, a per-seat floating license is comprised solely of the products you purchase. It&#8217;s a soundproof approach for mature pipelines. But what happens when demands from your customer base change, and you don&#8217;t have that additional product at hand to get the job done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> With Value Based Licensing, the pool consists of every product that is a part of the token license pool. And that is the big difference; no limitation on products available to you. If you only need access to a product for a couple of hours, tokens can be used to purchase the product for however long you need it. It goes without saying, you&#8217;ll get access to a far greater set of products, thus taking your internal capabilities to the next level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(0,255,185) 0%,rgb(0,230,230) 100%)\"><strong>You can access the full list of products and their token values within NX X by selecting File &gt; Help &gt; About NX <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#00e6e6;color:#00e6e6\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider this as an example. There&#8217;s a team creating the digital twin for a coffee machine. The team is comprised of four engineers with an NX Mach 1 license and <strong>120 <\/strong>tokens in the pool. Engineer one and two log on at 9:00am. The first engineer needs <strong>17<\/strong> tokens for Draw Shape to add a coffee bean logo to the exterior, and needs two hours to complete the task. Engineer two  needs to use Algorithmic modeling to create visual interest for the coffee bean hopper. Algorithmic modeling requires <strong>25<\/strong> tokens, and will take roughly two hours, leaving <strong>78<\/strong> tokens left in the token pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Engineer three needs to access Performance Predictor to analyse the performance of the coffee press mechanism. Although this will require <strong>89<\/strong> tokens from the pool, engineer one and two have completed their tasks, resulting in the tokens being added back to the pool. And finally, engineer four needs Animation Designer to create marketing collateral for the internal mechanism. This requires 24 tokens, but needs to be done after the Performance Predictor analysis is complete, meaning they can wait and access a fully stocked token pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
