RE: no internet NX
I just upgraded from NX4 to NX10 and it seems just fine. :)
RE: no internet NX
After that is annual payment, or all at once (by my choice)? Am I correct?
RE: no internet NX
- You will need to provide Siemens a "Composite Host ID" which is a mixture of your network address and some other hardware component identities. ( supposed to be a unique ID for the respective computer.)
When the license server ( the license service) is installed, the network adapter needs to respond to the licence service but you need no network out from the computer. - I think that the adapter therefore must be running.
The license service and NX checks each other "now and then" in so called heartbeats , NX allows a number of lost heartbeats without problems. For example i regularly move my laptop , with a NX session up, without network connection, from my desk to some conference room. Siemens does not say how often these heartbeats occur or how many lost heartbeats if tolerates. That would bee too easy for a potential hacker.
I think that i thereby answered also your second question.
When you buy NX, you either buy with or without maintenance ( there might be other options as well)
with maintenance you pay a monthly fee, you can report problems, get help from GTAC, download updates and new versions of NX.
Without i think you can download updates to the "Bought" release" but there is no help from GTAC nor new versions.

Tomas

RE: no internet NX
Did you need any connection to internet (for a long time span, say a year), working or installing NX10?
RE: no internet NX
but then the server has to be connected to internet. I am looking for NX in one small company, no server, no internet, just one laptop. Can I pay for NX and get CD plus license file (emailed license file is fine). Will I need to renew my license file ever again? I do not need helps (maintenance) or newer versions.
RE: no internet NX
Do you have a maintenance agreement?

RE: no internet NX
I never used help, and I do not know to which extend is license in the company where I work NOW.
RE: no internet NX
You do not need an internet connection to run NX10. You will be able to run it perfectly fine WITH OUT a connection to the internet for as long as you wish. As long as you have the capability to get your license file first (of course) so that you can then install it on the computer you wish to use it on.
The Hardware Key is still an option (i have just got that version myself and it doesnt require a license server to run, just the license file and hardware key).
Hope that helps. :)

RE: no internet NX
The intention is to run my own company (later on). I need only one seat license, and no internet will be ever connected to UG computer. No upgrade to latest version will be in need.
Is it possible to get earlier version (7.5 or 8, not R10)?

RE: no internet NX
Yes. QED. I'm in this mode several times a month on my laptop.
You can buy a license, install the FlexLM license server locally, install NX locally, and run with zero connection to the internet (which I do all the time while traveling and/or presenting at conferences) and NX runs like a champ.
...and does so quite quickly, if it doesn't need to access anything remotely (licenses, files, databases, etc.)
Hope that helps.

RE: no internet NX
You need a node locked license. I have one on my laptop and can run without an internet connection, or being connected to a network. What was mentioned previously is correct, your NX installation will generate a Composite Host ID. GTAC will use this ID to send you an active license. If you buy NX right now, you can go and download the the current version and a few of the previous versions. You can install them and run them together. Currently I am running 7.5 and 9. A while back I ran 2, 4, and 6 at the same time. One note: If you do not pay maintenance and your hard drive crashes, you lose your laptop, your network card gets fried, whatever the case may be. . . GTAC will charge a license transfer fee. I can't remember how much it is. I want to say it was around $1000. Your composite host ID is the result of some algorithm ran against the physical device IDs of the network card and hard drive.
