Free Educational License Program

Introduction

MagniComp™believes strongly in supporting educational institutions throughout the world. Our SysInfo™ Free Educational License Program provides FREE licenses to fully accredited educational institutions for use on all systems owned or leased by the institution. To be eligible for this program, your organization must be fully accredited in your country as a primary education school or a degree issuing college or university.

Please note that Support is not included and needs to be purchased if you need it. See the Support section below for details.

Automatic Free Licenses

If you are using one of the educational domains known to SysInfo™ then SysInfo™ will run automatically with an unlimited license. You do not need to obtain a license from MagniComp™. The following domains are recognized by the current version of SysInfo™:

• .edu
• .edu.xx
• .cc.xx.us
• .ac.xx
• .univ-name.fr
• .uni-name.de
• .fh-name.de
• .th-name.de
• .tu-name.de

The list of domain names changes from time to time. To see if your domain is recognized as a free education domain, run sysinfo -license.

If it says you have a DEMO license, then you will need to register for a free license.
