Teleworking with a nodelocked license

Teleworking (to work from home by making a remote login to work) is allowed in the Dymola license conditions, which describes the customer’s rights in detail.

How it works

In earlier versions of Dymola, teleworking has required a shareable (server) license. From Dymola 2024x, teleworking is also supported for nodelocked licenses. These restrictions apply:

  • Only one user can make a remote login and use Dymola with the nodelocked license.
  • The same user can run Dymola both locally and remotely.
  • To enable teleworking with nodelocked licenses, a new FLEXnet license key must be ordered and installed.

Compatibility

With the new license key, teleworking is supported from Dymola 2022x forward. However, error messages when two users try to login are improved in Dymola 2024x Refresh 1.

Teleworking is not supported for nodelocked DSLS license keys.

Motivation

This is a feature that users have asked for a long time, which with support from the license manager and experience from other Dassault Systèmes applications, we could introduce it.
