The ACA ToolKit: licensing
The ACA ToolKit is available for licensing to end users who wish to
modify their systems at the source code level, as well as to our user support
and application development partners;
we offer developing licenses and run-time licenses for third party transfer
of systems developed with the ToolKit, a maintenance and upgrade program, as
well as a support and training package.
- Developers license: primarily intended for users of any of
the major ESS systems who want to continue development, integrate
their own software modules. Inludes an open-ended non-transferable license
for a site (up to 5 CPUs of a given architecture); the binary libraries are
CPU locked, and made available with the corresponding on-line documentation.
