FLAMES provides a framework for developing custom simulations that are tailored to specific requirements. As such, few use FLAMES exactly as it is provided by Ternion Corporation – at least not for very long. Most use FLAMES as a part of a custom application that was developed using FLAMES development products. Such applications are usually referred to as “FLAMES-based” applications.
FLAMES development licenses allow you to develop custom applications (computer programs) that are based on FLAMES. All FLAMES development licenses are single-user licenses and are issued for specific, individual computers (or computers to which a specific hardware dongle is attached). This means that one development license is required for each computer that will be used to develop (edit, compile, or link) FLAMES-based applications, and the license can be used by only one software developer at a time. No portion of any FLAMES development product may be accessed in any way from any computer that is not licensed for FLAMES development.
Development licenses are required to develop custom, FLAMES-based applications. However, FLAMES runtime licenses are all you need to execute such applications. Once a custom, FLAMES-based application has been developed, it may be deployed to any computer that has the necessary FLAMES runtime licenses.
