Module licensing
A lot of changes have been introduced in this version, including the module licensing. In version 7, users need to select which modules they want instead of getting a version with full capabilities. With the principle of modules, price can be lower for basic product use when specialized functionalities are not required.
v7 is derived into four product versions:
Demo
Player
Academic
Enterprise
With the following optional modules:
LAN
HLA
DIS
CIGI
DDS
MQTT
HMI
MATLAB
COMMS
SATELLITE
RNAV
FLOW
TITAN
UNREAL
Although they all come with the product, activation of modules can only be done through special codes obtained upon purchase. Contact VirtualSim for more details.
Upgrade from version 6 will only be available for customers on maintenance plan.
A major version upgrade or migration is not advised in a middle of a project or for a project which is running fine. The migration process must be undertake with serious concerns. It is safer to start a new project with the latest version to make sure it will be supported later.
