Limited Cable Routing Licence Versions
Paneldes is now delivered in 3 versions with limitations on the volume of cables that can be routed by that version. For those customers who are not routing cables this limit is irrelevant. For those customers who are routing large volumes of cables you should ensure your version has the capacity to process those volumes of cables.
"Paneldes : Full" is the standard version of Paneldes and will route up to 1000 cables.
"Paneldes : Raceway 4000" is the mid version of Paneldes and will route up to 4000 cables.
"Paneldes : Raceway Pro" is the largest capacity version of Paneldes and will route unlimited cables.
These limits are subject to hardware capacity and network performance and other speed limitations of your system.
