NetSim Cloud Access
Enterprise/Edu Customers: End users can now access NetSim over the internet
We support two licensing formats:
Cloud License: TETCOS manages the license servers on the cloud. Customers need not worry about license servers, Host IDs, dongles etc. Note that end users would need to have internet connectivity when running NetSim.
On-premises: This is for customers who wish to host the license server within their organization.
In both options, NetSim runs locally on a PC/VM
Access from anywhere using NetSim Cloud Licensenew!
What is NetSim Cloud?
NetSim cloud is a hosted managed license server
provided by
Tetcos (developer’s of NetSim) to customers.
There is no need for customers to any longer manage Dongles, MAC IDs, and other issues related
to license
servers. In NetSim cloud, Tetcos LLP manages the set of license server hosts which run the
license server
processes for our customers. It is a pure license-as-a-service offering, and there is no license
server for
customers to install.
How does it work?
You will receive a secure FTP download link for NetSim and
a single
license file. Each user of NetSim at
your organization must download NetSim software and the license file. This is a common license
file for all
users. Once NetSim is installed users just need to place the license file in the install
directory of
NetSim. Internet connectivity is required throughout the period of time users run NetSim. The
maximum number
of simultaneous users is limited by the number of licenses purchased.
Can customers view their organization user’s license usage?
NetSim includes a
Customer
Portal to allow your customers to view their own licenses and servers associated with their
organization.
How do I control access to NetSim?
The NetSim cloud portal provides customers with an option to edit the options file associated
with any of
their license servers. Options are provided to either allow (INCLUDE or INCLUDEALL) or disallow
(EXCLUDE or
EXCLUDEALL). INCLUDE or EXCLUDE can be done based on user, host, group, or IP address.

What happens if my organization’s users do not have internet connectivity?
In this case, you should plan deploy a normal on-premises NetSim license server. Your software
works
completely locally if you desire. Customers must choose prior to deployment, either cloud or
on-premise
license server option.
Access from anywhere with NetSim On-premises License
