We offer several acquisition modes to adapt to your usage and budget.We have two ways to purchase a dataset on MICHELIN SIMIX : one lifetime and the other time-limited.
What we sell is not the intellectual property of the datasets, but the right to use the datasets.
RENTAL License
It includes a time-limited right to use for the defined scope. This means that you can use it for a predefined period of time. On MICHELIN SIMIX, we offer three possible rental durations (which vary depending on the type of dataset): 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year.
LIFETIME License
This license grants you perpetual right to use (lifetime duration) within a certain scope (zone/world, client/subcontractors, vehicle project, etc...). This means that you can use your dataset indefinitely.
License Activation
The right to use starts when the file is first downloaded. The right to use expires after n months: this means that you can no longer use it after the right to use has expired.
License ExpirationWhen your license (the duration of your right to use) expires, you have the option to extend it beyond the initial duration by paying 150% of the price difference between the initial duration and the amended duration.
The results of your simulations after the license expiration
Intellectual property remains the sole property of MICHELIN SIMIX: the datasets for which you have right to use cannot be transferred, sold, sub-licensed, etc... But the results of calculations/simulations are your sole property, even after the right to use expiration. In practice, this means that you can no longer run simulations, but you can still use the output files and the results from your simulations.
