The MATLAB model: GridSim Core is the seat, the GDA Data Lake is the toolbox. Annual or perpetual. The figures below are illustrative list prices for a specialist engineering research tool.
Illustrative list pricing, per named seat unless stated, ex VAT. Perpetual licences are 2.5× the annual figure and include twelve months of updates, then 25%/yr maintenance. The pricing logic, in one line each: Academic is priced so a grant line item doesn't need a meeting. Professional is priced against a week of a consultant's time. Enterprise is priced against getting one constraint decision slightly less wrong.

One email. Say which tier, whether you want the lake, and what you're studying. You'll get a straight answer and an evaluation licence — not a drip campaign.
