Plans for the software

Nov 20, 2021

Our licences are based on annual fees and are calculated by the number of users or sites/locations.

A single-site institution is an institution that is located in one place. The starting licence price is £2,100 for 1 to 3 users. If you wish to have more users, you can add them for £350 per user per annum. Alternatively, you can take an unlimited user licence for £7,000.

A multi-site institution is an institution that has a number of laboratories at different locations. For example, for an institution with two laboratories at different locations, there are two main options: a) Choose the multi-site institution licence with unlimited users; b) Choose the single-site institution licence (up to 3 or unlimited users) and add the second location for £1,800 per annum.
