GLOBE Claritas Licensing

An evaluation license to run Claritas usually runs for one month and is free. You are encouraged to contact GNS Science as often as you like during the evaluation, by e-mail to Claritas here, or by phone, so we can get you up and running as quickly as possible. The evaluation license comes with an evaluation manual which provides full information to get you set up quickly, and point you toward the on-line help catalogue. We can also provide tutorial sessions - these contain sample jobs and data, and full instructions to take you through a full processing sequence with Claritas.

The Claritas software is generally provided as an ftp download. To run it you will need a license key, which we provide by e-mail. To create this key we need to know the ethernet address of your computer.

If you wish to continue using Claritas you must sign a Software License Agreement and purchase a license from GNS. There are substantial discounts for research organisations if they are not making a profit from their seismic processing work. Multi-user licenses can be provided on a per-site basis with no restrictions on CPU type - this makes it particularly useful for heterogeneous Unix sites. License upgrades are not required when you upgrade your hardware. Leasing options are also available.

Maintenance and support is provided through payment of an annual fee. As well as providing a quick response support line, the maintenance fee also covers version updates, which are currently being released at the rate of about two per year. The pace of development for GLOBE Claritas is quite high, and new features are being added daily. We also encourage users to tell us what enhancements they would like.

For current pricing, please email Claritas here to let us know approximately how many users you would wish to support, or whether you would qualify for an academic (non-commercial) discount.
