Licenses for universities and students for learning and research purposes

Simio offers no-cost (free) licenses to faculty, researchers, and students through individual Student Licenses and Academic Grants. Academic licenses are functionally equivalent to Simio RPS and pose no limits on model size or complexity.

Academic licenses are valid only for non-commercial work. We recognize that funded research projects and student projects are important uses of Simio in academic institutions. In cases where students/faculty work with commercial or governmental entities, the research/project work must be publicly available as case studies or white papers and the company/sponsor’s name must be included. If you are interested in commercial licenses to support proprietary commercial research projects, please contact us at [email protected] to learn what licensing options are available.
