Thank you very much for your reply. As a graduate student, I hope to use this software to express interaction and add highlights to my work to be published.

Original:
Hello,
It depends on the type of user, not on whether the work will be published or not.  If you are using the program because you are a professor, student, or university or nonprofit organization  staff member, then you can use the free academic license.  If you are working for a commercial entity (a business that runs for profit), you need a commercial license.  For details on how to get a commercial license, see

<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/commercial_license.html>

Also in the future if you want to ask specifically about ChimeraX (not Chimera), there is a different email address for that program: chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu <mailto:chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
