  • What are the restrictions on our AspenTech for research?

    • I can be used for Academic Research only, which means the research should be publicly available and free.

  • If a company sponsors a lab’s research and the findings are published as an academic paper, would this breach the Terms of Service and License Agreement since it was company sponsored?

    • Under Clause 3.4 of the SLA, use of the licensed software in connection with a commercial partner is prohibited unless AspenTech provides express prior written consent. As a non-limiting example, UWashington must obtain AspenTech's express written consent before a company sponsors the lab's research.
