Licensing

The Scade One software offers two methods for license management:

  • Ansys License Manager

    The Scade One application uses the Ansys License Manager for license purposes. Scade One 2025 R2 requires version 2024 R2 or more recent of the Ansys License Manager to be downloaded from the Ansys Customer Portal.

    For complete information on running the Ansys License Manager, refer to the ANSYS, Inc. Licensing Guide available from Ansys Customer Portal.

    There are various license modes that can be used with the Scade One application. See License Modes for details. Note that the Basic mode (Scade One Essential) can be used with existing Ansys SCADE Suite Advanced Modeler and Ansys SCADE Suite KCG Code Generator – C and Ada license tokens.

  • Ansys Shared Web Licensing

    Ansys Shared Web Licensing is a web-based service for managing and using Ansys software licenses. It eliminates the need for Ansys customers to install, configure, and manage license servers. Shared Web licenses can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection. Pools of licenses can be shared by multiple users.

    Not all Ansys products are supported by Shared Web Licensing. The list of supported products is growing rapidly with each Ansys release. Contact your Ansys Account Manager or Channel Partner for the list of currently supported products.

    You can use Shared Web services by setting the following environment variable before launching the Scade One software:

    Variable NameValuesUsage
    ANSYS_LICENSING_WEB1Enabling Shared Web

    To enable offline usage, the Shared Web Licensing service offers also a Roaming mode. You can activate this mode from the LicensingSettings.exe utility located at Scade One\ACL\v[ReleaseNumber]\licensingclient\winx64 in the Scade One installation. Go to Web Licensing > Shared > Roaming tab.

    For complete information on using the Shared Web Licensing service, refer to the ANSYS Shared Web Licensing User’s Guide available from the Ansys Customer Portal.
    Note: A valid account is required for accessing the customer portal. Please contact your sales representative for login and password information.

Bundled Applications

The SCADE Rapid Prototyper tool is bundled with Scade One Studio and allows to create interactive graphical panels, used for simulation and debug. It is delivered as a separate installer, that can be downloaded from Ansys portal. The SCADE Rapid Prototyper 2025 R2 installation can be launched automatically at the end of the Scade One installation, provided that both executables are located in the same folder.
