Three New Reasons to Start Using On-Demand Licensing

Fellow engineers, you’ve been asking for greater visibility and reporting functionality for your Altium On-Demand Licenses, and we’re delivering. With the arrival of Altium Designer^®, we’ve beefed up our On-Demand Licensing system to give you more control than ever. Here’s three new reasons to start using On-Demand Licensing:

1. Real-Time Usage Statistics

Need to see exactly what percentage of licenses are in use throughout your organization? The new Reports dashboard provides an overview of all your product license pools and their current utilization.

2. Individual License Usage

Need stats on a specific user? License usage can now be tracked for individual users by a specified time period so you can understand exactly how efficiently your licenses are being used.

3. Historical License Usage

How about optimizing the amount of licenses you actually need? New historical license usage functionality allows you to see how your design team’s peak usage and how it has changed over time.

With these new On-Demand Licensing features, it has never been easier to optimize license usage for your organization. After all, who doesn’t like saving money?

How to Access

Those already using On-Demand Licensing can access all of the new reporting and metric features in their AltiumLive Dashboard.

Risk Vs. Reward During the recent IPC APEX expo, there was a lot of discussion about SAP, or semi-additive PCB processes. As with any new technology in PCB manufacturing, there were people that are excited to jump right in and start designing with much finer feature sizes and work through the inevitable changes to the traditional thought process. Others are in a let’s wait and see mode and of course, there are a few skeptics there as well. There were a few stand Read Article

Keep the Petals on: Optimizing Daisy Chain Wired Communication

Keep the Petals on: Optimizing Daisy Chain Wired Communication As a child, I was fascinated by trains. I remember staring down an empty railway for hours, simply waiting for a train to pass by. From my youthful perspective at the time, it was magical how the train never fell off the track despite essentially being a moving chain consisting of many . Although I eventually outgrew my obsession with trains, I became enamored by the daisy chain style of wiring for communication in electronics. As my career as an Read Article

Biodegradable PCBs: Will They Really Help With PCB Waste Disposal?

Biodegradable PCBs: Will They Really Help With PCB Waste Disposal? Isn’t the expansion of the PCB industry incredible? In the last 100 years, we’ve gone from using brass wire and pieces of wood to etched copper traces and fiberglass substrates. New industries like the Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in cars are accelerating that growth. There are millions of PCBs in existence today, and that number will only continue to grow. The funny thing is that we design a printed Read Article

What is Lenz's Law

What is Lenz's Law or Simulation and How Does it Affect PCB Design? Lenz's law is one of the fundamental physical laws that describes the multitude of relationships between electricity and magnetism. Together with Ampere's law, Gauss law, Faraday's law, Coulomb's law, and the Lorentz force law, we have everything we need to understand the classical behavior of the electromagnetic field. Among these laws, Lenz's law and Faraday's law work together to describe how the magnetic field in your PCB is related to the Read Article
