GoldSim Academic

GoldSim Academic offers the same powerful features as GoldSim except that models built using GoldSim Academic are limited to 500 elements or less (GoldSim is unlimited). GoldSim Academic includes all the GoldSim modules. GoldSim Academic does not include basic support but you can join our User Forum to read other's questions and submit your own questions. GoldSim Academic licenses have a limited duration (typically 6 months), but can be renewed.

Restrictions and Terms

• Academic licenses are intended to be used for teaching and "internally funded" graduate student research (i.e., student research funded at a low-level, typically using departmental funds) at non-profit academic institutions.
• Academic licenses are not intended for private or government research institutions or for "externally funded" research (i.e., sponsored research projects or research carried out by staff) at academic institutions. If you wish to use GoldSim on these types of research projects, you would need to purchase either a GoldSim Research or GoldSim commercial license.
• Academic licenses cannot be used for consulting or other commercial purposes.
• If GoldSim Academic is used to generate results which are published, we request that the GoldSim Technology Group be acknowledged in the paper (and informed of the publication).
• If you are using GoldSim in a substantial manner after four months, then we request that you create a link to http://www.goldsim.com, anchored to the text phrase "simulation software". By "substantial", we mean using GoldSim actively in your teaching or research.
• To renew an Academic license, we ask that you provide a brief description of how you have been using GoldSim, and maintain a link back to GoldSim from your website.
• GoldSim Academic does not include technical support (although some support may be available via our User Forum).
