Academic licenses
Academic (research) licenses are the cheapest licenses available, with the exception of academic teaching-only licenses. They are granted only to degree-granting institutes such as universities and colleges, and is strictly limited to non-profit research.
Only prices for academic license types are presented on our web site.
Prices are given for both types of academic licenses:
| Academic research group | for all members of one research group |
| Academic site | for all employees of this institute (one geographic site only) |
Academic computing center
If a license is installed at an academic computing center that will be used by only a single academic research group, or multiple research groups from the same university, then the academic license fees may apply. If academic users from different universities get access to the software, an academic computing center license needs to be purchased. In all cases usage is restricted to academic users only.
Government licenses, other non-profit
These license are for non-profit research institutes that do not qualify as academic. The license may be used by all employees at that geographical site.
Commercial licenses
These licenses are for companies or any other entity using ADF for for-profit work (directly or through a collaboration). The license may be used by all company employees at the specified geographical site.
