Have A/Car Token Requirements Changed over the last few years?

I have an old (~2009, ADAMS 2007 r1) A/Car full vehicle model I'm attempting to resurrect. This is a full tractor-trailer model with PAC2002 tires and flex bodies operating on the MDI_2d_Flat road. I'm opening this up in ADAMS 2017.1 and trying to run some of my old file driven events. The run stops when I appear to run our of tokens (???). So did the required number of tokens change (go up!) since I've been running these models?

Well I guess you'll hear the same answer as if you'd ask Fiat, Renault, Hyundai or others if they use defeat devices. They all claim they'd stay within legal limits, but funnily have much higher emisions than domestic brands in real-life-tests.

Anyway the MSC master Key tokens sucked from the beginning and are outdated, too.

MSC One is the new kid in town.

If you have a larger amount of users you can still negotiate with MSC not on a "we need xxx tokens" base but on "we'd like to pay yyy $ for xxx users".

In the latter case you just track the number of users and the costs for MSC licenses which pretty quickly reveals any cheating.

The bad news: Yes, the licenses became more expensive over the years.

Have you asked your MSC account rep? I assume that would be the best source for clarification on license token requirements.

Jim:

I can check back as far as 2012, and see no change in the tokens pulled by the Adams components you described. Is there a chance that some tokens haven't been released by another application?

Hi Tim,

It may have been farther back than 2012 since I've tried using A/Car for full vehicles...

There is rarely another user working in ADAMS. I am also using "lmutil" to check what's taken out...

Still waiting to hear the results of some testing on older versions being performed by tech support...

I am not familiar with token policy, but som programs in case of multiprocesor or even multicore cpus count licence usage per cpu or cores.
