Time-Based Licensing

CA ERwin Data Modeler version 9 includes a time-based embedded maintenance license. This license lets you use CA ERwin Data Modeler for a specific period. This means, if there are any new releases in the specified period, you can upgrade to it. When the license expires, you have to buy a new license to upgrade. The time-based license is coupled with Local and Concurrent licenses.

For example, you have purchased a node lock license for CA ERwin Data Modeler version 9.0 on Sept 1, 2012 with three years of maintenance. The license expires on August 31, 2015. After August 31, 2015, you must purchase a new license for any upgrade in CA ERwin Data Modeler.
