MasterKey License System

The MasterKey License System provides you with the ability to take advantage of the breadth and depth of MSC.Software's world class simulation software portfolio within a flexible licensing system, allowing you to use whatever simulation tools you want, whenever you need them.

MasterKey utilises a token-based method, which provides the most effective and efficient implementation of your investment in product development, including an unrivaled breadth and depth in product access to a complete suite of engineering tools. MasterKey is tailored to your unique environment to maximize your productivity and stretch your engineering budget.

The MasterKey Method
With the token-based method, you purchase a pool of tokens. Your tokens are checked out from the pool and are used to access and run a full range of CAE solutions available under the MasterKey License System from MSC.Software. Each individual software item requires a certain number of tokens to run. After each use, your tokens are returned to the pool for other use. There are over 100 different software items available under the MasterKey License System.
