What is Enterprise Architect?
Enterprise Architect is a Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tool for designing and constructing software systems, for business process modeling, and for more generalized modeling purposes. Enterprise Architect is based on the latest UML 2.1 specification (see www.omg.org). UML defines a visual language that is used to model a particular domain or system (either proposed or existing). Enterprise Architect is a progressive tool that covers all aspects of the development cycle, providing full traceability from the initial design phase through to deployment and maintenance. It also provides support for testing and change control.Features

Enterprise Architect is available in four editions: Corporate (Floating), Corporate (Standalone), Professional and Desktop. Each edition offers a range of features to support the requirements of different groups of users, from single-person projects to large enterprise teams. The Corporate Floating license arrangement is particularly useful for companies that need to manage a central store of license keys. Floating license keys may be used by different employees over time, on a temporary or permanent basis.
