License Choices

COMSOL Multiphysics is the optimal tool for modeling multiphysics applications within many different scientific and engineering disciplines. Below, you can find the solution* for best using this tool within your company, in your computer lab, or at your work and at home.

Named Single User License (NSL)

A single named individual may use at most one concurrent session of a Program. You may replace the named user for the license on a temporary or permanent basis provided that only one individual is designated as the named user at any given time.

CPU Locked Single User License (CPU)

Any individual may use one concurrent session of a Program on a single designated computer at any given time, working from the console of that designated computer.

Floating Network License (FNL)

At any time you may have as many sessions of a Program in use as you have agreed to license. If the Program has the ability to run as a client and server on separate computers, only the FNL version gives you the right to use the Program in this configuration. Only users connected to the network can access the Program.

Class Kit License (CKL)

As many as 30 concurrent students and two (2) teaching assistants can participate in a class kit license. This license is for academic use only.
