When to choose Concurrent licenses?

As cloud-based software, One Click LCA offers you two types of accesses – named user or concurrent licenses. While named user licenses are suitable for small firms with limited use, concurrent licenses are cost-effective for firms that want to scale the software use at a much lower cost.

Named user

license

For small firms with limited scale use

Limited to a user with a set log-in account

Concurrent

license

For larger firms, investors, developers and associations

The most cost-effective way to scale software use. Unlimited users share a single license, but only one user can occupy one seat at a given time.

Concurrent licenses – Scale software use, not cost

All One Click LCA software is browser-based access. Concurrent licenses are available for all tools and can be shared among a specific country, region, or global. You can get as many concurrent licenses as needed. Concurrent licenses are only occupied when you use One Click LCA; for example work on updating or mapping data in One Click LCA BIM models does not occupy a license

Cost-efficient

A single concurrent seat can support an unlimited number of users.
A concurrent license can be shared across departments, offices, regions, and countries, with specific compliance modules available for each region. Users around the globe can maximize the use of the software 24/7.

Transparent

All data is natively stored in a cloud platform, allowing for aggregation and analysis.
A license manager can add and remove users in real-time. And stop a lower priority user from occupying a license for a higher priority one in urgent situations.

Secure

You can set specific access rights for each user. Information is secured
All users must periodically confirm their continued access rights.

More benefits for investors, owners, developers, public entities and associations

For Investors, Owners, Developers and Public Entities

With concurrent licenses, you can offer your suppliers to use a specific license type on your behalf, which gives you many benefits including:

Consistent reported data and methodologies
Automatic data aggregation for future analysis and reporting
Control and set access rights to specified projects and suppliers
Simplified and centralised license costs for a global or widespread supply chain
Complete control over all the underlying data
Standardise projects with templates, workflows, classifications or other One Click LCA customisation opportunities.

For Associations

Concurrent licenses are best if you are a manufacturer association that wants to support your members deliver LCAs or EPDs. This has the following benefits:

Cost-efficiency: members can share a pool of licenses managed by you
Control and set access rights for each member or to specific projects
If you choose to provide a limited number of licenses or features, your members can get their own licenses at a discount
Consistent reported data and used methodologies. This offers an objective and fair way for your members to compare their sustainability metrics.

Out with the old desktop installed LCA software

Many traditional LCA software require purchasing licenses for physical computers or allow only procuring licenses for specified named users. While these approaches work well for certain situations, they can be extremely costly and cause many problems.

Expensive

Costs scale directly linearly in proportion to the number of users.
New or even occasional users, including trainees, to new tools, incur high fixed costs.
High fixed costs for new licenses leads to seeking workarounds, incurring time losses.
Users changing jobs or roles may keep occupying valuable licenses.

Complex

Working across several jurisdictions may require purchasing separate tools for each country
A very tedious process to collect all results into an aggregated portfolio for analysis
No possibility for license and cost-sharing between departments
No oversight of license use

Risky

Named users on holiday, off sick, travelling or unavailable leads to no progress
Users working from home during the pandemic cannot access their devices at the office, to which the licenses are linked.
Transferring devices or user accounts between users takes a significant amount of time
Maintenance or loss of devices leads to immediate loss of production tools and lost work.
