Solid Edge licenses can be purchased online as Solid Edge XaaS, Solid Edge XaaS Floating or Solid Edge X license types:

  • Siemens Xcelerator-as-a-Service (XaaS) subscriptions connect you to the cloud and provide the opportunity to subscribe to software and services based on your needs. Solid Edge XaaS products are available as either monthly or annual subscriptions.
  • Solid Edge X is Solid Edge in a secure SaaS environment. It offers core capabilities of Solid Edge along with built-in cloud data management, cloud-enabled services including installation distribution and updates, ad-hoc collaboration via Teamcenter Share; it utilizes cloud-enabled named user licensing.
  • Solid Edge XaaS Floating licenses can be used by any computer on your network. Because floating licenses are "counted", you must run a license server. A Composite ID (CID), Ethernet address or a hardware key can be used as the server ID for your floating licenses. The use of floating licenses requires a persistent network connection with the license server.
  • Solid Edge XaaS or Solid Edge X subscriptions include Teamcenter Share, providing the same powerful product development software you expect while also offering next-generation collaboration, Augmented Reality (AR) capabilities, the ability to access your design data anywhere from any device, and so much more.
