ShipConstructor Introduces Universal Seat License

BC, Canada, Jun 10, 2009 -ShipConstructor Software Inc. (SSI), Canada, is proud to announce a new, simple software license option, the Universal Seat License. The Universal Seat License provides a welcome and cost effective alternative to the current modular licensing system, providing access to every module and function ShipConstructor has to offer with one single license. Better yet, future modules of ShipConstructor, such as Electrical and WeldManagement, will be automatically provided free of charge under the subscription program.

As per today, the modular licensing system allows users to obtain the required number of disciplines from the following list: Hull, Structure, Pipe, HVAC, Equipment, Penetrations, ProductHierarchy, ManualNest, AutomaticNest, ProfileNest, Report, and NC-Pyros – with Electrical and WeldManagement to be released later this year. But, predicting the correct number of disciplines is a very difficult if not impossible task for many customers. With the Universal Seat License, customers can now choose the number of seats instead of the disciplines, which provides unsurpassed flexibility and, for many, a cost advantage as well.

Small design shops with staff experienced in a variety of disciplines will benefit from the Universal Seat License as much as large shipyards and design offices. In small design shops, a designer works on structure for a while, then moves to pipe, and after that to HVAC, nesting and NC code generation. Purchasing a seat of every available ShipConstructor module to cover all the required disciplines would cost over $US 50,000. Now, a single Universal Seat License at $US 19,950 does the trick.

Large shipyards and design offices also benefit from the flexibility the new licensing option offers. When building a tanker, one needs more pipe seats, when building a bulk carrier, one needs more structural seats. Furthermore, throughout the production design of a single ship, the load on the various departments generally shifts from hull fairing and lofting to structural design, to pipe, HVAC, and outfit, and then to production oriented functions, such as profile, plate nesting, NC code generation and production reporting. Yesterday, you needed 25 Structure licenses, today you need only 8, but also 9 Pipe licenses, 2 HVAC, 1 Nest, 2 Report, 1 ProfileNest and 2 NC-Pyros licenses. Again, choosing the Universal Seat license model is the cost effective answer to this challenging task.

Clients who currently own any ShipConstructor modules can trade in the combined value of their modules to obtain Universal Seat Licenses. For a limited time only, the ShipConstructor Universal Seat License will be available at a reduced price of $US 19,950 per seat including network license functionality. At the same time, the modular licensing system will continue offering great value to customers with very well defined requirements.
