* From 1 January 2021, DHI no longer offers Essential Licenses for sale.
Q: I already have an Essential License for a MIKE product. Can I continue to use it and get technical support from 1 January 2021 onwards?
A: Absolutely! Your Essential license is perpetual, and we will continue to offer Essential SMA so you can stay supported and receive software updates in the future.
Q: I already have an Essential License for a MIKE product. Can I purchase more licenses of products I already own from 1 January 2021 onwards?
A: Yes. If you already own one or more seats of a product or module on an Essential License, you will still be able to purchase more seats of those (on the same license) from 1 January 2021.
With a Professional License, you get fully featured software and optimum productivity for your team. All DHI’s products and modules are available for purchase on a Professional license, and each ‘seat’ purchased comes with four concurrent simulations of the engine(s) associated with that product or module (except FEFLOW, where a Professional License allows unlimited concurrent simulations of models utilising the same mesh and same problem class). Professional Licenses are also available as an Internet License, saving the money and man-power typically associated with establishing and maintaining a license server.
Many MIKE modules can utilise computer parallelisation techniques, and Professional licenses are delivered with 16-core capability (each concurrent simulation can utilise up to 16 CPU cores). Compute capability for these modules is set to Unlimited cores on a Professional License while SMA is valid (similarly, for those modules that can utilise GPU computing hardware, Professional SMA provides free access to GPU). In addition to technical support and updates, having Professional SMA also provides further benefits including volume discounts, priority access to DHI’s online services, and bonus modules that DHI no longer sells (e.g. MIKE Animator Plus).
University licenses are strictly limited to educational and research purposes only. University licenses are granted a 50% discount on the Professional list price (purchase and SMA).
