Definition

Commercial rules
TECS is included with Lease Licenses during their term and must be bought separately for Paid-up Licenses. Under the 2021 SLA, Lease Licenses are non-cancelable and renew automatically for a like term unless notice is given (no purchase order or no renewal quotation counts as notice); TECS on Paid-up Licenses also renews automatically at the prior rate plus an increase.
Applies to
All Ansys Program licences under the AGTC and License Terms; the 2021 Software License Agreement and the 2024 clickwrap use the same pair (the clickwrap calls it a Subscription Lease License).
