Licensing

Priced like an instrument. Because that's what it is.

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.

Tell me what you want to replay. I'll tell you what it costs.

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.
