We
are all aware that education is the key to a sustainable future. EarthShift
and PRe partners support this initiative by offering SimaPro educational
software, which not only provide institutions with fully functioning LCA
tools at a fraction of the cost, but also assist in the learning and
teaching process for students and professors.
Educational
licenses include:
For educational use, SimaPro is available in 3 versions: the
multi user Classroom version,
the Faculty or
campus license plus the advanced PhD version.
Educational
versions may only be used by academic institutes for teaching purposes and
can not be used for commercial activities including paid research.
You can simply upgrade an educational license to a professional license.
SimaPro is flexible: if you want a different version,
you can simply switch without loss of data.
Use the SimaPro
selection wizard to find your best option!
SimaPro
Classroom
The SimaPro multi user version is a client server network version
for up to 40 users. All students work in the same database, and can cooperate
within the same project. Passwords and user rights are simply created
using our User creation wizard. By logging in as manager, the lecturer
can simply follow the progress of his or her students.
The functionality of this educational version is comparable
with the SimaPro Compact. The SimaPro Classroom version is available as
indefinite license or temporary license for 12 months.

SimaPro
Faculty
The SimaPro stand alone version that you can distribute to all students
in your faculty or department. The functionality of this educational
version
is comparable with the SimaPro Compact.
The SimaPro Faculty license is only available as a temporary
license for 12 months. After expiration, the software will run as
demo version. Data in the database are kept as they were. Reregistering
with a new code will revive the software.

analyze results in greater details and use the process tree window. The
PhD version also supports parameterized modeling and scenario analysis.
The functionality of this educational version is comparable
with the SimaPro Analyst. The SimaPro PhD version is available as indefinite
license or temporary license for 12 months.
