Value-based licensing

How value-based licensing works

Available through your Designcenter X Solid Edge subscription, value-based licensing uses a shared pool of "tokens" to provide on-demand access to extended product development functionality.

1. Purchase a token pack
Choose from 10, 25, or 50-token bundles based on your team’s needs.

2. Access advanced features
Launch add-on capabilities when you need them, such as simulation, electrical routing, generative design, or AI-powered drawing creation.

3. Consume tokens while in use
Tokens are only used while an add-on functionality is active.

4. Return tokens to the pool
When finished, tokens are automatically returned for others to use.

Simple, efficient, and cost-controlled. No separate purchases required.

Why teams choose value-based licensing

Avoid over-purchasing add-ons. Pay only for the capabilities you actively use.

Expand access across your team

Enable more engineers to leverage advanced tools without the need to assign dedicated licenses for every team member.

Scale instantly with your needs

Access additional capabilities on demand with a flexible, usage-based model—no procurement delays or complex upgrades.

Unify your engineering toolset

Extend the value of your Designcenter X Solid Edge subscription with a wide range of integrated functionality.
