Introduction

a,-./023 Overview
aspenONE® is AspenTech’s comprehensive set of software solutions and services. aspenONE
products enable process industry companies to optimize their engineering, manufacturing and
supply chain operations. As a result, AspenTech customers are better able to increase
capacity, improve margins, reduce costs, become more energy efficient, and achieve
operational excellence goals.
aspenONE solutions include the industry’s leading:
· Simulation and design products in the aspenONE Engineering suite
· Plant operations products in the aspenONE Manufacturing suite
· Supply chain management products in the aspenONE Supply Chain suite.
The token-based aspenONE Licensing Model gives customers the flexibility to access and use
any aspenONE product at precisely the time it is needed. This is especially critical in the
dynamic market conditions of the process industries ‒ whether during down economies or in
high-growth periods. This enables customers to lower their risk while maximizing the return on
their software investment.

Packaging
Included in your package from AspenTech, you will find the following items that you will need
prior to installation:
· A packing slip listing the version of the media that you have received.
· One or more of the following USB drives:
o aspenONE Token USB – Contains the media that supports the aspenONE Licensing
Model token-based system. This all-inclusive token-based licensing model was
introduced in July 2009. Under this licensing model, customers are entitled to install
and run all of AspenTech’s products as long as they have purchased sufficient tokens.
To install software purchased under this commercial agreement, use this USB. Software
installed from the aspenONE Token USB requires run-time token-based license keys.
o aspenONE Standard USB – Contains the media that supports perpetual and pre-
aspenONE Licensing Model token-based systems. If you have perpetual license
agreements or token-based license agreements by product (pre-July 2009), you should
use the USB labeled Standard. Software installed from the aspenONE Standard USB
requires older license keys that have been in use since the aspenONE 2004 release.
o Informatica – If you have an MSC perpetual license purchased prior to 2011 and are
entitled to Informatica upgrades, you will receive both the Standard USB and a
standalone Informatica USB containing a new version of Informatica PowerCenter.
 N456: The Getting Started brochure and the product Release Notes and Installation Guides are

Organization
aspenONE delivers AspenTech’s Process Modeling, Exchanger Design and Rating, Economic
Evaluation, Energy and Flare Analysis, Process Development and Operations Support, Plant
Operations, Process Control and Supply Chain Management products and documentation on a
single USB.
The contents of the USBs are organized in the following folders:
· Aspen Engineering – includes all Aspen Engineering products, Aspen PIMS and Aspen
Administration components (Aspen SLM, Aspen SLM tools, ALC Auto Upload Tool).

To manage your product entitlement, you will receive one of the following separately:
· A license file if you are using the SLM Server to manage the products to which you are
entitled.
· A pre-configured dongle containing your customer license file if you are operating using a
dongle to manage the products to which you are entitled.

N456: An invoice noting which products you are licensed for is also sent separately from the
JIW?XF>= J@7Hs=8?R

aspenONE Licensing Model

The aspenONE Licensing Model is a flexible token-based approach to software licensing. This
unique and innovative commercial model makes it easier for customers to use software when
and where they need it. Customers have access to all current and future AspenTech products
with just one contract.

1 Introduction 5
 Upgrading to the aspenONE Licensing Model for Manufacturing and Supply Chain
V8.x and above
If you have recently signed a new aspenONE Licensing Model agreement or if you have
superseded an old license agreement with an aspenONE Licensing Model token-based license
agreement for aspenONE Manufacturing and Supply Chain, you will receive a new token-based
license file for V9. During installation of any product in Aspen Manufacturing and Supply Chain,
you will get a message indicating that the newly installed software will use the token-based
license key. Accepting the warning message enables you to install the software.

N456E If you do not have the updated token-based license file, please contact AspenTech
O;J?Is=> A;HHI>?R
