CCS Floating License vs Network License?

Rafael

Our customer wants to upgrade CCS v3.3 to network license.  Please give me a recommendation on which version of this should be.

Mai,

Sorry, I really don't understand exactly what you call a network license, but it seems close to what we call a floating license. Therefore let me ask you: what does exactly your customer want to do?

- Does he want to upgrade CCSv3.3 to CCSv4 and purchase a license where he can use on the computers that are connected in his company's network? We call this a floating license.

- Or does he want to keep using CCSv3.3 and purchase a license that can be used throughout his entire company? We call this a site license (no network connection is required).

- Or does he currently have a CCSv3.3 site license and wants to upgrade to CCSv4 floating license?

In the first case he can simply purchase a floating license for 1, 3, 5, 10 or 25 seats that is used in the network. Details and orderable part numbers are shown in the page below:

The other two scenarios require you to contact the address ccs_license_file_help@list.ti.com

Hope this helps,

Rafael

Rafael-

1) Yes, they want to upgrade CCSv3.3 to CCSv4
2) No.
3) No, they have Node-Locked License

About purchasing a floating license for 1, 3, 5, 10 or 25 seats....That's ok, but can they upgrade? Is there any savings?
