# Buy GiD

#### Is the GiD version 7 license compatible with version 6 one?

No, as it is a complete new release, it is necessary to obtain a new license for version 7. All the following version belonging to the GiD 7 series, will be password compatible with version 7.

#### How much does GiD cost?

For academic users, we have the academic version, which is totally free and can be used for small meshes (700-3000 elements). For the professional version, check the GiD web page: http://www.gidhome.com/order.

Go to the GiD web page to get a free password to use the professional version of GiD for one month.

#### Licenses policy

GiD is licensed per one machine and platform basis. This means that every machine should have its own license and that if one machine has both, linux and Windows, two licenses are required. For every machine there can be as many users as desired using the program at the same time.

The unitary price per license is the same for two licenses. For more than 5 licenses there are several discounts.

There are two methods of payment: by FAX and by Internet & Credit Card. Both of them are good and secure. Probably, by internet is a little bit faster.

Also, you can buy the complete kit with the manuals or just the license. A good idea is to buy one complete kit and other licenses.

Our general considerations about licenses is that if during the first year of the purchase something happens, we give another license to install GiD again. We are confident with the people and we trust the costumer that the old license will no longer be used.

The problem of dependency with the computer and the OS is totally common. Any commercial program will have the same problem. The question is: is it necessary to protect the programs? I'd love it was not necessary.
