Commercial Licensing
Commercial Licensing
A commercial license must be purchased for any UBC-GIF software package that is to be used for commercial and/or contracting purposes. Depending on the software package you wish to license, the license is purchased through either Mira Geoscience Ltd. or directly from UBC-GIF. Instructions for acquiring commercial licenses and a brief description of each software package is provided below.
Also, do not forget to visit the free utility software page, which has basic tensor mesh utilities and some GUIs for interacting with basic UBC-GIF modeling codes.
