ACTIFY ANNOUNCES SPINFIRE 2004 SERVICE PACK ONE
WITH SUPPORT FOR MACROVISION FLEXLM™
Supports Macrovision's
FLEXlm Version 9.2 Floating License Manager,
Permitting License Borrowing
San Francisco, Calif– June 22, 2004 – Actify
Inc., the worldwide leader in client-server design visualization
and collaboration solutions for the high technology, automotive,
industrial automation and discrete manufacturing industries, today
announced the availability of SpinFire 2004 Service Pack One with
support for Macrovision's FLEXNet universal software licensing
technologies (FLEXlm) which permits license borrowing. With SpinFire
Professional's supports of FLEXlm version 9.2 and the licensing
borrowing environment, customers will realize cost savings and
convenience through flexible software license management options.
Macrovision's FLEXlm product is a software licensing platform
that provides a range of license management capabilities for software
publishers and enterprises. The platform streamlines software business
costs by simplifying operations and logistics.
"The availability of FLEXlm will further enhance the value
of SpinFire for companies by allowing them to allocate licenses
on demand and for off-line users," said John MacKrell, senior
consultant with CIMData. "In addition to reducing overall
cost, more people will be able to take advantage of the high value
of viewing and working with 3D design information. This is a significant
step in providing ubiquitous access to knowledge that can foster
more innovation in products and services that organizations can
provide."
"Corporations can control cost through the flexibility
of floating license technology, allowing a group of users to share
a pool of SpinFire Pro 2004 licenses," said Randy Ochs, president
and CEO of Actify. "The new borrowing functionality extends
our flexibility by removing the requirement that a computer running
a floating license application be continuously attached to the
network. Therefore, a user can disconnect from the network and
still retain their license allowing them to take software on the
road or offsite."
