| Software Licenses For Teaching Purposes |
 |
|
Thanks to their didactic side, we are convinced that the use of our software can enormously enrich the course by training of the students. Many of them will be brought to use these tools in their professional career and a good control of these software constitutes for them an undeniable asset on the labor market. It is also noted that a person trained on a software of simulation is very quickly operational on any similar tool .
The role of the professor is also facilitated. The lecture on thermodynamics, unit operations such as distillation, heat transfer or chemical reaction, or more generally process design, whatever its nature, is enriched by the use of powerful supports which enable the visualization of the various phenomena and facilitate the understanding of major concepts.
The versions of the software which are provided to the students and the teachers are the same as those provided to our industrial customers (complete and unlimited versions). Subscribers also fully benefit from our services of maintenance, update, training and technical support (MUTS Services).
In particular, people in charge of teaching have access, free of charge, to our scheduled training sessions (see upcoming schedule and teaching content) related to software used.
The table below indicates the software covered by the license for teaching purposes agreement and the corresponding financial conditions.
| Software |
Application |
| Simulis Thermodynamics |
Thermodynamic properties server |
| ProSimPlus |
Simulation and optimization of continuous processes |
| ProPhyPlus 2 |
Thermodynamic properties and fluid phase equilibrium calculations |
| BatchColumn |
Simulation of batch distillation columns |
| BatchReactor |
Simulation of batch chemical reactors and kinetic parameters fitting tool. |
| Ariane |
Simulation and optimization of power plants |
The financial conditions proposed in the academic convention are particularly attractive and do not compare with those of industrial organisation. For each software:
| |
- Fee for the first license (local or first network user) : 300 € per year |
| |
- Fee per additional license (local or additional network user) : 70 € per year |
| |
- Fee per "class" license (60 simultaneous network users) : 1000 € per year |
| |
- Additional charge per "borrowable' license (network) : 10 € per year |
[ See the different types of license available ]
It is to be noted that within the context of this license of software for teaching purposes agreement, the university commits to use the software solely for teaching its regular students and agrees not to undertake any research, study, or consulting service for third parties using the software, even if this is free of charge.
To register, it is necessary to establish an “Agreement” between ProSim and your university. This agreement specifies the conditions of use of our software as well as the obligations of the parties. Two types of Software License Agreements are available.
Please choose between the Renewable annual license and the Long-term license agreement, download the corresponding MS-Excel file and fill out the form, make it sign by an authorized representative of your university and return it to us by fax or postal mail.
 |
Renewable annual license: the initial duration of the agreement is one year. This period is then tacitly renewed year by year (unless the agreement is terminated by one of the parties). The license fee is payable every year, at the beginning of the period, as long as the agreement is valid. This fee escalates at 3% per annum after the first year. |
|  |
 |
Long-term license: The agreement runs over several years. The duration is chosen at the beginning with a number of years set between 2 and 12 years. The license will expire at the end of this period. The license fee requested is payable only once, in advance for the full period. |
