Concurrent Licensing • Centralized Administration • Lower Software Costs
Reduce software licensing costs while simplifying deployment and management of Predator applications across your manufacturing network with Predator Floating License Manager (FLM).
Rather than purchasing dedicated software licenses for every engineering workstation, programmer, supervisor or operator PC, Predator FLM allows multiple users to securely share concurrent licenses across your wired or wireless network. Install supported Predator software on as many computers as needed while only licensing the maximum number of simultaneous users.
As a leading Predator Software reseller and manufacturing systems integrator for more than 25 years, Shop Floor Automations (SFA) provides the planning, deployment, licensing strategy and ongoing support to help manufacturers maximize software utilization while reducing total ownership costs. The FLM brochure describes this concurrent licensing model and centralized license checkout process.
Many manufacturers purchase dedicated software licenses for every workstation-even though many applications are only used periodically throughout the day. Engineering stations may sit idle while operators, programmers or supervisors require temporary access elsewhere.
This often results in:
Predator FLM helps manufacturers reduce software costs while simplifying software administration across engineering, operations and IT.
Predator FLM supports floating licensing for many Predator applications, including:
For over 25 years, Shop Floor Automations has helped manufacturers deploy Predator Software efficiently across single-machine shops and enterprise manufacturing facilities.
