RISA’s
shared,
cloud-based
licensing
model
is
designed
to
reduce
software
costs,
eliminate
administrative
frustrations,
and
give
engineers
access
to
the
tools
they
need
when
they
need
them.
Unlike
traditional
named
licenses,
RISA
licenses
are
shared
across
your
team
and
not
tied
to
a
specific
user.
Shared
licenses
align
with
real
world
workflows
and
budgets.
For
firms
evaluating
different
structural
engineering
software,
shared
vs.
named
software
licenses
directly
impacts
both
cost
and
productivity.

Without
Limiting
Access
Most
firms
do
not
need
a
dedicated
license
for
every
engineer.
With
RISA’s
shared
license
model,
access
is
based
on
usage
rather
than
user.
Teams
can
operate
efficiently
with
fewer
shared
licenses
versus
the
named
license
alternative.
For
example,
a
senior
engineer
may
only
need
periodic
access
to
review
another
engineer’s
model.
With
a
named
license
system,
they
would
require
a
full
license
despite
the
limited
use.
Over
time,
this
leads
to
an
underutilized
tool
and
higher
total
costs.
By
contrast,
shared
licensing
ensures
that
licenses
aren’t
sitting
idle
on
one
individual’s
computer.
Licenses
can
be
accessed
by
multiple
team
members
requiring
fewer
total
licenses
and
lowering
overall
licensing
costs.
