Altair Units
To be “all-in” means spending more than three decades pioneering solutions that transform the world. When we developed our patented licensing system, we aimed to put the power of innovation into anyone’s hands, in line with our commitment to democratizing software accessibility. It was revolutionary then, and it’s still revolutionary today. Altair Units have been, and will remain, all-in and always-on – and that’s something nobody else can say.
What do we mean when we say Altair Units are all-in and always-on? It’s simple – users get full access to our software tools whenever they need them, and they can determine when, where, and how they want to use different tools without needing to worry if they’re eligible for access.
Units give users the flexibility to run software anywhere, the freedom to choose what software tools they need when they need them, and unparalleled value that maximizes use and minimizes cost.
Flexibility to Run Anywhere
Customers have full, instant access to our software – including more than 150 Altair and partner products – and can run these applications on-demand locally, in the cloud, or in a hybrid setup.
Freedom to Choose
Users can leverage the same licenses for many different applications in one environment. Consolidation also contains management costs and eliminates restrictions floating within a zone.
Value-Based Licensing
Users can leverage a variety of software applications simultaneously on a machine, only drawing units for the most valuable product. With Units, users can explore more options with licensing designed for all-hands collaboration.

Units-Based Subscription Model
Altair Units is a patented, units-based subscription licensing model for software that has transformed the way our customers operate. With Units, customers have full access to every Altair and Altair Partner product, plus the power to solve on any scale. Packaged as a comprehensive set of applications, our units-based structure is scalable, shareable, and more cost effective than obtaining individual licenses.
Licensing is as easy as 1-2-3:
- Customers purchase a pool of sharable Altair Units
- Users draw Units from the pool to access multiple products from any location
- Units return to the pool after use and again become available to all users
