Important Update: It’s Time to Upgrade to CAMEL+ - ACADS-BSG

April 20, 2022by ACADS-BSG

Last month ACADS-BSG were thrilled to invite you to gain Early Access to the next generation of Camel, CAMEL⁺. The uptake was extraordinary with over 300 new CAMEL⁺ accounts created.

The time has now come to retire the desktop Camel application and complete the transition to CAMEL⁺.

From July 1st 2022:
The desktop Camel application will be retired and only CAMEL⁺ will be available.
Support for the desktop Camel application will cease, meaning unlocking strings will also no longer be generated.

How this affects your organisation:
• Members: Following the expiration of both your active Camel Membership and last unlocking string, Camel will no longer run on your device.
• Non-members: Camel will no longer run on your device once the unlocking string has expired.

What you need to do to prepare:
We recommend that you ensure all project files (.DAT, .OUT etc.) are saved in a secure location on your system so that these files may be accessed via CAMEL⁺ in the future.

How to upgrade to CAMEL⁺:
To thank our Camel Members, a free Early Upgrade to CAMEL⁺ is being offered until your next Membership renewal date. Discounts will also be applied to your account for the length of your active1 CAMEL⁺ Subscription for traded-in licences.

If you don’t have an active Camel Membership, take advantage of our limited time Early Upgrade offer. Trade-up an old Camel licence to CAMEL⁺ at a discounted rate of $9992 for the first year.

CAMEL⁺ Benefits:
• Rely on the same trusted calculation engine as the original Camel, but take advantage of an enhanced User Interface that allows you to input data much more efficiently.
• Utilise backwards compatibility with Camel 5.11.1, allowing you to import your current projects.
• Access CAMEL⁺ from any PC through your web browser.
• Take advantage of future updates by simply logging in. Key planned updates include a new set of weather data and updates to suit the upcoming revision of AIRAH DA09.

Trade-in your CAMEL Licence

 

1 If a subscription is cancelled or not renewed within 7 days of the subscription expiry, Legacy Member discounts will be forfeited.
2 Offer valid only for those who currently own a desktop Camel licence. Maximum of one (1) discount applied per company account. Offer expires 30th June 2022 11:59pm AEST.

 

 

The user interface for HYENA+ is much cleaner and more user friendly than the UI used for the original HYENA program. This makes the experience more enjoyable, easy, and less taxing when using the program for long periods of time. HYENA is an excellent tool to have and its now web-based nature with HYENA+ has allowed it to become even more beneficial.

It has always been a pleasure dealing with ACADS-BSG team due to their helpful nature and quick response time to any inquiries and technical issues. Camel\Hyena works out of the box and install time is in seconds, I cannot recommend any other company that provides better customer service other than Catherine and her team.

Catherine and the team at ACADS provide customer service of the highest standards always offering the best solutions for our business with fast response times. I would highly recommend ACADS-BSG.

The ACADS BSG suite of software has been used by VOS Group for 30 years. We as a company have grown as the software capabilities have changed with usability and technology. The support from head office has always been quick and accurate, with a resolve to overcome any obstacles. We have always found the outputs to be accurate and reliable and a good basis for good engineering design.

Moving to a cloud based platform has improved the overall performance of the software. [being able to log in from any device] has improved my overall productivity as I only need to carry my smart phone or a tablet, and I can do my job remotely. Tools and functions are clearly organised within the new interface reducing any confusion for a new user. Copy+ Paste option saves a lot of time for Engineers like me. It just works like an Excel Sheet, where you can copy items and paste them somewhere else. It saves a lot of time especially if you are working on a single project and you want to do multiple calculations.

[HYENA+] allows me to quickly switch from one calculation to another without losing any data. This has reduced the overall lead time in doing calculations. I am sure [HYENA+] will have a positive impact on the Fire Industry.
