Software licenses for Teaching purposes
Teach future engineers with the same software used by the industry today!
A major advantage that students can add to their chemical engineering curriculum!
Fives ProSim’s advantages:
- Easy-to-use software in French and English.
- Services included with the use of the software (Maintenance, Updating, technical assistance and level 1 training).
- Several types of licenses available.
- Tutorials delivered with the software.
- A large library of application examples: the pdf document and the simulation file. These examples are very useful to gain some time and prepare the practical exercices for the class.
OVERVIEW OF OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAM FOR TEACHING
Thanks to their didactic side, we are convinced that the use of our software can enormously enrich the course by the hands-on training of students. These are the tools many students will later go on to use in their professional career. Hands-on experience with these types of software tools constitutes for them an undeniable asset in the labor market. Students trained with engineering simulation software are very quickly operational on any similar tool.
The role of the professor is also facilitated. Lectures on thermodynamics, unit operations such as distillation, heat transfer and chemical reaction, or more generally process design, are enriched by the use of powerful software which enables the visualization of the various phenomena and therefore leads to a clearer understanding of major concepts.
Students and teachers receive the same software provided to our industrial customers (complete and unlimited versions). Subscribers also fully benefit from our services of maintenance, update, training and technical support (MUTS Services).
Teachers have also access, free of charge, to our scheduled level 1 training sessions (see upcoming schedule and teaching content) related to software used.
A large library of application examples and tutorials is also delivered with the software.
VERY ATTRACTIVE CONDITIONS!

- Fee for the first license (local or first network user) : 300 € per year
- Fee per additional license (local or additional network user) : 70 € per year
- Fee per “class” license (60 simultaneous network users) : 1000 € per year
- Additional charge per “borrowable’ license (network) : 10 € per year
When purchasing software licensed for teaching purposes, the university commits to use the software solely for teaching its regular students and agrees not to undertake any research, study, or consulting service for third parties using the software, even if this is free of charge.
It is necessary to establish an “Agreement” between Fives ProSim and your university. This agreement specifies the conditions of use of our software and the obligations of the parties.
VARIOUS TYPES OF LICENSES
– “Trial” license: temporary license which is installed automatically with the software, and which can be installed only once on the same computer;
– “Local” license (or standalone): license which allows the utilization of the software on a unique computer.
– “Network” license (or client/server) (LAN or WAN): a license which can be shared among several users through a network. The software is installed on an unlimited number of computers and the license is installed on the server. The license manages a pre-defined number of simultaneous accesses.
The Network license can be “Borrowable”. The borrowing function creates a license (called “Borrowed”) for a specific user, on a specific computer. This allows the software to be used without being connected to the server. Borrowing a license reduces the number of possible simultaneous accesses on the network license by one unit.
