Note that all new indefinite licenses come with a free one year service contract, which gives you access to software and database updates as well as our helpdesk.
For educational use we offer special versions at reduced prices.
Temporary licenses
SimaPro can be purchased as indefinite license or as a temporary license. A temporary license is an ideal solution if:
- You want to test SimaPro before purchasing an indefinite license, or want to run a first LCA project and investigate if it is a useful tool.
- You need temporary expansion of the capacity to run a complex LCA project. This is especially useful with a multi-user version.
- You want a temporary upgrade to a higher version (for example the Developer version, to develop Wizards)
After expiration of a temporary license the software will run in demo mode: you can still access and print your data, but no longer edit them.
Temporary licenses come with a service contract included.
Database
To get started with your LCA projects, SimaPro comes inclusive of several inventory databases with thousands of processes, plus the most important impact assessment methods. You do not have to spend time on collecting general data, and you can focus on the important issues of your study.
We are a reseller of the new ecoinvent database, an up to date database with 2500+ processes. This database is fully integrated in all professional versions!
Language support
The SimaPro software can be run in various languages. Current languages available are English US, English UK, Italian, Spanish, French, Danish, German and Dutch. More translations will become available over time.
Databases, help and manuals are only available in English and are not translated. A fully Japanese version of SimaPro is available through our Japanese partner Yamatake.
