Teaching-only licenses

Special fees are available for classroom licenses. The graphical user interface, easy license activation, and the available tutorials and teaching exercises will make it easy for you to teach students how to use computational chemistry to get insight into structure, reactivity, and properties of molecules & materials.

For some countries, we can offer academic licenses at a 30% lower fee.
