Question about commercial license for ChimeraX
Dear ChimeraX Development Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing as an enthusiastic user of your remarkable software, which has been instrumental in both my academic and educational pursuits. Recently, I was approached by a small company interested in commissioning visualizations as part of a collaborative effort. I would like to inquire whether you offer a specific commercial license suitable for such freelance engagements. Additionally, I would be delighted to contribute to your website by sharing some of my visualizations of molecular systems, should this be of interest to your team. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response. Best regards, Gleb
Hi Gleb, Thanks for your kind words. We don't have different types of commercial licenses (freelance or not). However, there are different costs based on the number of users, so if only one person is using the program, you would only have to pay the single-user price. Our commercial licenses last for 3 years. All of the commercial license pricing and information, including the contact email address and a link to webform to fill out if you want to start the licensing process, can be found here: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/commercial_license.html> Regards, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hello Elaine, Thank you very much for your kind response! I have one extra question: if the company interested in hiring me for a contractor project holds a commercial license, would it be possible to temporarily share that license for the duration of the collaborative project? P.S. Have you considered organizing a competition for individuals in academia to showcase creative works, with the possibility of sharing the projects through your web ?? Thank you once again for your time and support. Kind regards, Gleb Le 2024-11-18 20:44, Elaine Meng a écrit :

No and no, sorry. Re licensing, all of the information is in the link sent previously, and re competition, we do not have staffing to organize or administer it. Elaine

Thank you very much, Elaine. I will review the details of the licensing, and I would be happy to contribute to the Chimera-X community regardless! All the best, Gleb Le 2024-11-18 22:34, Elaine Meng a écrit :
