Simio Academic Grant Application for Academic Institutions

New Simio Academic Grant Program In August 2023, changes were made to the Simio Academic Grant Program: student licenses are now included with the award.

Simio Licenses For Institution Machines, Researchers, and Faculty/Staff

Enter the number of desired seats of Simio on university-owned and other non-student machines. Network licenses are installed on a server, from which client machines check-out the license when needed. Node-locked licenses are installed on the client machine and cannot be shared with other machines. The count of seats represents the number of simultaneous users.

Network licensing offers a means for better understanding license usage and seats can be distributed across servers if desired; otherwise, there is no functional difference, except what has been described. In most cases, a department uses one license type or the other.

Enter the count of each type of license the department would like. Keep in mind, no matter the type, there can be no more simultaneous users than there are seats.
