Requesting an evaluation copy
In order to request an evaluation copy of one of our
products, please download and complete the form at the bottom of this
page. Before doing so, please note the
following:
-
The evaluation copy is issued free of charge for one
month.
-
Once you have submitted the form, a member of
our team will contact you to discuss your modelling requirements.
-
We offer two types of evaluation license. 1)
"HardKey" USB dongle based. Our preferred option, this will allow you to test the software on multiple machines;
you will need to pay for the key shipping and return.
2) If you cannon use the HardKey then we can in some cases offer the
“SoftKey”. Everything is downloaded from our web site. SoftKey
licenses are authenticated by our license server over the internet
so the machine running the software will need a constant internet
connection. Additionally, a static public IP address will be
required. Please discuss these options with your Photon Design
representative and select your choice on the evaluation form.
-
The purpose of the evaluation is for you to get to know the software, so that you can make an informed choice as to whether it is the right software for you.
The evaluation’s purpose is not for you to do actual research or actual design work.
No results obtained from the software during the evaluation may be published or communicated to any third person without our written permission.
-
When deciding upon a date for the application, you are advised to select a time during which you are not too busy in order to make best use of the one month
of evaluation. For reference, we estimate that evaluating one of
products should take you at least five full working days.
-
You are expected to submit your request on behalf of your
research group. If you are a student, you need to perform the
evaluation with the agreement of your supervisor, who will be
requested to sign the evaluation form.
-
Evaluation licenses are granted entirely at our discretion. Note in particular that:
-
We will be unable to issue a repeat evaluation to the same site for the
same product within a 12 month period.
-
We may refuse to provide you with an evaluation
license if your group already has an existing license.
-
We do not provide free evaluations to private individuals. You must submit your request on behalf of
your university, lab or company. If you would like to use our
software for private purposes please contact
us.
Please download and complete the form as follows:
-
Choose the product you wish to sample at the top
of the form, e.g. "FIMMWAVE/FIMMPROP/Kallistos".
-
Fill in Institution name, desired begin date and
your name.
-
If you are a permanent employee of your
organisation, print it out and sign it yourself. If you are a
student, the form must be signed by your supervisor. In any case it
must be signed by someone with the legal power to sign on behalf of
your organisation.
-
