How to decide which CadnaA license I need

What CadnaA license do I need?

CadnaA (Computer Aided Noise Abatement) is the leading software for calculating, presenting, evaluation and predicting environmental noise.



Following these simple 3 steps, you can quickly find out which CadnaA license you need:

1) Decide on the CadnaA product I need based on the type of source I have to evaluate, the size of the project and the number of rules and calculation methods I should evaluate:




Products CadnaA Light are efficient tools for smaller projects, while products CadnaA Professional are powerful tools for larger projects. With products CadnaA Light up to 100 point sources and 60 linear and/or surface sources can be used per project, as well as up to 2,000 buildings and 2,000 displays (not expandable). With products CadnaA Professional up to 16 million sources of any kind can be used per project, as well as up to 2,000 buildings and 2,000 screens (expandable up to 16 million buildings and 16 million screens with Option L).
CadnaA Basic is a profitable product when a limited number of regulations or calculation methods are sufficient. With CadnaA Basic can use, per project, up to 16 million sources of any kind, as well as up to 2,000 buildings and 2,000 screens (expandable up to 16 million buildings and 16 million screens with Option L).
Products CadnaA CALC allow calculation to be outsourced to external machines with the intention of improving the efficiency of the calculation.

All of these CadnaA product types can be expanded and/or improved functionally with the options explained in the following article: CadnaA Options

2) Decide whether I need to use the license temporarily or permanently. Purchase and subscription licences exist (annual or monthly). See details in the following article: CadnaA subscription or purchase conditions

3) Decide whether I need a single user license (local), a network license or a cloud license (cloud). You can see the characteristics of each type of license in the following article: CadnaA license types
