Enterprise Architect Floating Unified Edition

Important Licensing Information

Support Subscription

When you purchase Enterprise Architect you have access to new versions and builds of Enterprise Architect and email support for 12 months.
After this period has expired, you have the option to extend this support by purchasing a subscription renewal. A subscription renewal extends your support for an additional year.
Your license key will not expire, just your subscription. If you choose not to renew, you can continue to use your current version of Enterprise Architect, you just won’t be able to update it unless you renew.

Renewing Your Support Subscription

You will be emailed a renewal notice from both Sparx and IAG at the beginning of the month your subscription is due to expire. IAG is happy to process your renewal for you. There is no difference in the support subscription however you may receive preferred pricing from IAG. Please check our website and contact IAG for volume pricing.
Lapsed Support: Subscriptions that have lapsed for 3 or more years will not be eligible for subscription renewals and the user will need to purchase new licenses if they wish to use the latest version of Enterprise Architect.
Multi-Year Renewals: Customers can purchase up to five years of renewals in advance. This allows for easy budgeting and funding, as one transaction could last the entire lifetime of the project.

Standard vs Floating License

Each edition is available as either a Standard (fixed user) license or a Floating user license.

Standard license keys are registered directly to a user’s computer and are not removed again until the user needs to change computers. One standard license can be registered to both a work and laptop machine if both machines are used only by the same user.

Enterprise Architect software may also be purchased as a floating license. Floating licenses are suitable for companies who wish to automate the management of multiple registration keys. Floating license keys are administered in a single, centralized repository. The Sparx Systems Keystore Server provides this repository and administrative software to manage floating licenses. This is a free service provided with the purchase of floating licenses and can be downloaded from the registered user section of the Sparx website. The keys are entered into the server, which users then connect to and lease out license keys as needed. Once the user disconnects (i.e., shuts down Enterprise Architect), the key is automatically returned to the key store ready for the next user.
