The new release of the package incorporates a software licencing system which can limit the use of the package in a variety of ways. This licencing system has enabled us to produce demonstration versions of the programs which can be switched to full capability by an appropriate licence key. We are therefore able to make the software available via ftp so that anyone can obtain and try it in demo mode. If they like it they can apply for a licence key to switch it to full capability. As before, academic users will not be charged for a full licence, but commercial users will be required to pay.
Licences are available here .
