Licensing
Information
This page provides a form for collecting background information on license applicants, information and instructions for the Licensing Agreement document, and a button at the bottom of the page for producing a customized Licensing Agreement document suitable for printing at your workstation.

All foreign licenses are subject to the U.S. Export Control Policy and LANL's export control procedures and must be approved prior to the exportation of the software. To conform with LANL's export control procedures, it is required of each foreign institution to complete a checklist to submit for export approval. A link is provided at the bottom of this page to the Export Controls Checklist.

All foreign licenses are subject to U.S. Trade Representative approval. This process is taking 3–6 months.

The non-commercial license issue fee for SOLVE version 2.0 is a one-time payment of six hundred ($600) U.S. dollars, which is made up of a $500 issue fee plus a $100 export processing fee. In exceptional circumstances, the $500 issue fee only may be waived.

Upon receipt by LANL of a FAXed signed license agreement and the completed checklist, the package will be submitted for export approval and U.S. Trade Rep approval. If the required checklist is not returned, export may be denied by this office, or your license request will be submitted to the U.S. Dept. of Commerce for review and approval which may take a period of 2-3 months.

After approval has been received to export the software to your institution, you will receive an e-mail message with a temporary User "key" or access code that will allow you to use the software for 45 days. When your licensing fee is received, you will be provided with an access key that will allow you to use SOLVE until December 15, 2096. If export approval is denied, you will be notified by email.
