IMMI – Frequently Asked Questions
In General
In noise immission control, the use of quality-assured software for noise calculation is essential. With the A-QNS association, quality assurance is raised to a new level – users thus receive absolute security in terms of conformity to standards. You can learn more about this here.
We are happy and also quite proud to have played an instrumental part in making our world a little quieter over the past 30 years by providing our savvy users with an efficient tool. But unfortunately, even with this piece of the puzzle, the world can not eliminate all noise problems. After all, the continuous growth of the population is exacerbating the situation despite all innovations in noise control. We are happy to meet this challenge – with technological as well as substantive solutions. Because we firmly believe that the potential of noise abatement has not even begun to be exhausted. We want to take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalization to further develop noise abatement in a targeted manner. Topics such as cloud computing, AI, and global data models play a part in this. In addition, we attach great importance to applications that open up noise control for everyday life and new user groups. We have already initiated internal work on this in parallel with the continuous development of IMMI. So you can definitely look forward to what is to come!
Before Purchasing
IMMI is available in four basic modules of different sizes: IMMI Basic, IMMI Standard, IMMI Plus und IMMI Premium.
You can thus tailor the software package to your individual requirements. Learn more about this here.
Yes, the management of several types of noise, for example in scenarios, is one of IMMI's great strengths.
The emission and noise impact calculations in IMMI are based on defined guidelines and standards. All regulations, algorithms, tables and nomograms of a specific standard are comprised in an “element library”. Along with the base module, one or more selected element libraries form the customized tool for calculating noise and the dispersion of air pollutants.
IMMI supports all relevant calculation guidelines, which can be added to the basic module as element libraries. You can find an overview here.
All license models can be run in a network. The single-user license is protected by a hardware/software key. The software can be installed on any number of computers and the program is licensed by accessing the key. The hardware hardkey is either connected to a server or directly to a USB slot on the PC. The software key is saved as a file on a server or directly on a PC. The license can be issued as a single user license for one user or based on the number of licensed users.
Our maintenance customers receive all software updates free of charge. In addition, you can expand your product equipment at lower prices and participate in our extensive workshop and seminar program at special conditions. Technical support is available to you via telephone and e-mail with no extra cost.
12-month maintenance is included in the initial purchase. Thereafter, a software maintenance contract must be concluded.
After Purchasing
The latest version can be found in our customer area. This can also be accessed via the footer of the IMMI website. The main update is installed first, followed by other available interim updates.
Once a year – usually in the summer – there is a main update, which is used to implement new rules and regulations as well as functions in a quality-assured manner. Furthermore, we publish interim updates as required. In this way, we ensure that IMMI is always up to date. Our maintenance customers receive the updates free of charge.
When starting the new version, a message appears stating that the license has expired? You can easily extend it using the option "Download license key from WMS file server".
Alternatively, you can also extend the license via the demo version menu: Help | Program license | Download license from file server.
