Independent advice on license models and tool selection


We sell no licenses ourselves. We compare the options against how your projects actually run, so the cost you sign up for is the cost you planned for.

Choosing the right engineering software is about more than features. The license model affects cost, flexibility and how easily the solution can support new users, projects and ways of working over time.

Inteq helps you evaluate the options before you commit. We compare licensing, functionality and practical requirements against how your organisation actually works, giving you a clearer basis for tool selection and fewer surprises later in the process.

What a license model actually costs over its lifetime

The total cost of a license model depends on more than the initial price. User numbers may change, projects may grow and new modules or functions may become relevant over time.

That is why we look beyond the initial license cost. We assess the setup in relation to expected use, contractual conditions, scalability and the practical consequences of changing needs. Where relevant, we also consider implementation, administration and the risk of becoming dependent on a setup that is difficult or costly to adjust.

The aim is to make the commercial and operational impact visible before a decision is made, so the cost you plan for is closer to the cost you actually get.

How we compare tools before you commit

Good tool selection starts with the work that needs to be done. We begin by understanding your workflows, users, technical requirements and plans for future development.

From there, we compare relevant tools against the factors that matter in practice. This can include functionality, integrations, licensing structure, scalability, administration and how well each option fits into your existing environment.

The result is not simply a feature comparison. It is a structured decision basis that shows the trade-offs between the alternatives and gives your organisation a clearer view of what each choice means before you commit.

Aveva and Cadmatic licensing in practice

AVEVA and Cadmatic are both used in complex engineering environments, but the most suitable setup depends on your projects, users and technical requirements. Inteq helps you compare the alternatives on equal terms and understand how licensing affects the wider solution.

Aveva licensing

For AVEVA, we review the proposed license setup in relation to actual use, required functionality and future needs. This can also support ongoing AVEVA license management by clarifying where licenses are needed and how the setup can be structured.

Cadmatic licensing

For Cadmatic, we apply the same principle. We assess the licensing setup together with functionality, workflows and expected usage, so the comparison reflects the practical needs of the organisation rather than the software in isolation.

From evaluation to a decision you can defend

A good decision basis should be useful beyond the procurement meeting. We therefore make the differences between the alternatives clear, including cost drivers, limitations, opportunities and areas that may require further investigation.

This gives stakeholders a shared basis for discussion and makes it easier to explain why a specific solution has been selected. When the decision is made, Inteq can also support the next step and help turn the chosen solution into a setup that works in practice.

Frequently asked questions about license models

What should we compare in a license model?

Look at total cost, terms, user needs, scalability and how easily the setup can change over time.

Can Inteq help with tool selection?

Yes. We compare tools against your technical and operational requirements and provide a structured decision basis.

Do you also support implementation?

Yes. Inteq can support the next step when the selected solution is ready to be implemented.
