There are five simulators: RATE, KINETIC, GRADIENT, AFFINITY, and RATERFC (rate model for radial flow chromatography). The first simulator costs US$400. Each additional simulator costs $200. $1000 for all 5 of them. These prices are for installation on a single PC. A separate site license fee of $1000 is needed for the entire package (with 5 simulators). If you want the software mailed to you on a CD-ROM, please add $10 for shipping and handling for a U.S. address. Add an additional $5 for a foreign address. There is no shipping and handling charge if you choose to receive the software via internet.
After I receive the payment you will be given a signed license agreement
to you stating that:
You can use the software for whatever purposes you want, except that
you cannot integrate the software into another software and then market
the latter to others without paying royalty to Tingyue Gu. Modified software
can be used by the same user or research group. However, it cannot be passed
to other people without paying a royalty to Tingyue Gu. Any publications
or formal technical reports using the software above (or their modified
versions) should mention that the original software was written by Tingyue
Gu. The software is provided "AS IS" without any expressed or implied warranty.
Tingyue Gu is not responsible for any harm or damage due to the use of
the software.
The Fortran source codes for all the five simulation packages are also available. The first Fortran source code is $1500. Each additional source code is $500. $3000 for all 5 source codes. Add $1000 to upgrade from a single computer license to a site license. They can be modified and used in any way you want. However, if you want to include the source codes in marketable commercial software, the fee will be much higher.
Instead of paying me a license fee, you may get the software by providing a minor research grant to my research group. If you choose to do so, my graduate students and I can help you do some research involving scale-up and modeling of liquid chromatography.
