gPROMS academic licensing

Terms & conditions

gPROMS is supplied to academic institutions under strict terms and conditions.

If your intended use does not fall within the guidelines, we are happy to discuss the situation with you to look for a solution.

 Contact us

Because of the very favourable license prices we offer to academics, gPROMs is supplied to academic institutions under strict terms and conditions.

Bona fide academic research

gPROMS academic licences are provided only:

to bona fide academic institutions, typically universities and technical colleges
for use in academic research, for example for a PhD or similar qualification, and teaching
for research where full data and results are published or otherwise placed in the public domain

PSE will be happy to advise you on the most appropriate course of action if your intended usage of gPROMS does not fulfil all of the above criteria – for example if some of your work is funded by an industrial sponsor, with some of the results being confidential.

In such cases, please contact us at academic@psenterprise.com to discuss arrangements before applying for an academic licence.

Reference and citation

gPROMs must be cited in any paper where it has been used to generate results, quantitative or qualitative.

PSE's preferred reference is:

Don't qualify?

PSE frequently supplies gPROMS for:

  • collaborative research projects whose results are not in the public domain
  • commercially-funded (for example, industrially-sponsored) projects undertaken by academic institutions for which some results are confidential

We also provide favourable licensing terms for research organisations (ROs), for example government-funded laboratories or industry research organisations.

if your intended use falls into any of these categories, please contact us to discuss.

PSE reserves the right to cancel licences without notice if they are being used for commercially-funded research without prior arrangement.
