Feature-restricted license (FRL) offerings

Substance 3D Collection is available for both FRL online and FRL offline licenses. FRL online licenses are for machines that have access to a network. Customers can deploy a proxy to manage these FRL online licenses in their restricted network. FRL offline licenses are for machines that don't have access to any kind of network. (Note: To sell FRL offline licenses, the AE/sales manager must provide the business justification for offline licenses for approval to sell FRL offline licensing.)

Both FRL online and FRL offline licenses give access exclusively to the Substance 3D apps: Substance 3D Painter, Substance 3D Designer, Substance 3D Sampler, and Substance 3D Stager. They do not include access to the Substance 3D Asset library or services (such as 1TB cloud storage, Adobe Fonts, Bridge, Behance, 365 versioning, the Admin Console, or Single Sign On).

When to recommend Substance 3D for enterprise

While Substance 3D for enterprise is the obvious choice for large-scale organizations, the VIP offering of Substance 3D for enterprise makes sense for many small and medium sized businesses as well. If your customers already have Creative Cloud for enterprise or Acrobat DC for enterprise, or if they have needs in any of the following areas, recommend Substance 3D for enterprise:

Multiple teams

Creative Cloud licenses (including Acrobat) will be spread across multiple teams or departments.

Customer type: Enterprise (1000+ employees), Advertising

Multiple locations

Creative Cloud licenses would be spread across multiple locations and/or cost centers.

Customer type: Enterprise (1,000+ employees), eCommerce, retail, and entertainment

Highly regulated industries

Advanced identity management and user authentication is required because security is the top priority.

Customer type: SMB (100+ employees), VFX studios, defense, and healthcare
