Restrictions
AB-BLAST may only be used for pre-clinical research. Any use of the software for medical diagnostics, treatment, genetic counseling, or any other clinical purposes is strictly prohibited.
Personal Use (including Academic/Nonprofit)
Personal Use licenses are available at no cost for AB-BLAST 3.0, subject to limitations that include the software may be used only for personal, academic or non-profit research by the licensee. The Personal Use license does, however, permit AB-BLAST to be offered by the licensee via no-cost, publicly accessible web services. Any for-profit or fee-based use or access to AB-BLAST services requires a site license.
If the AB-BLAST Personal Use License agreement satisfies your needs, fill out the Licensing Form and indicate your acceptance of the terms.
Academic/Nonprofit vs. Commercial Use
An Academic/Nonprofit Site license is available to help larger facilities with systems management, as site license keys are more flexible, and to express their support. A site license is also required if any fee is to be assessed by the licensee — including inter-agency fund transfers, if a parent organization (not just a sponsor) is not held in common — or if fees are to be assessed by a third party — such as AWS — for using AB-BLAST services.
A Commercial Site license is required for all for-profit entities and allows usage fees to be assessed at the licensee’s discretion.
License Documents & Fee Structure
All licenses have a minimum 1-year term, with terms enforced by a time-limited license key. Prices exclude any taxes or fees.
