Purchase AIMAll Professional



AIMAll operates either in Professional mode or Standard mode.

To operate AIMAll in Professional mode, a valid aimallpro.lic file must be present in the main AIMAll directory.

AIMAll Professional enables some major new features compared to the Standard mode.  Currently, these new features involve the visualization of data and the use of multiple processors for AIMAll jobs.  Some upcoming new features may also only be enabled in AIMAll Professional.

AIMAll Professional licenses must be purchased.

Purchases of AIMAll Professional contribute to the development of the AIMAll package, which is and has been funded entirely by TAK and TK Gristmill Software.

AIMAll Standard

The AIMAll Standard operating mode is the default mode.  It does not require an aimallpro.lic file and is free of charge, though registration is required.   The AIMAll Standard operating mode imposes a limit on the size of the molecular wavefunction data that can be used for running multi-processor calculations and for generating visualization-related data files (*.*viz) by AIMQB, AIMExt, AIMInt and AIMSum, and displaying them with AIMStudio.  This limit is 10 or fewer atoms and 200 or fewer primitive basis functions.  Depending on the evolution of AIMAll, future versions of AIMAll may also impose limits on the Standard mode for other new features.

If you have not already done so, please Register to Download AIMAll and use it in Standard mode.

AIMAll Professional

The AIMAll Professional operating mode does not impose any multi-processor limits, visualization limits or other limits on the size of the molecular wavefunction data.  A valid aimallpro.lic file must be present in the main AIMAll directory in order for AIMAll to operate in AIMAll Professional mode.  An aimallpro.lic file is specific to a single computer.  An aimallpro.lic file must be purchased as part of a an AIMAll Professional License Pack.  An aimallpro.lic file is permanently valid on the corresponding computer for any version of AIMAll released within at least one year from the time that the aimallpro.lic file is issued.

AIMAll Professional License Packs

AIMAll Professional licenses are sold in "Packs" for either 2 or 10 computers.

The price of an AIMAll Professional License Pack is dependent on the intended use, the number of computers licensed and the years of maintenance desired.

Maintenance includes email support and free AIMAll Professional updates within the maintenance period.  The latter means that an aimallpro.lic file purchased with 3 years of maintenance, for example, is permanently valid on the corresponding computer for any version of AIMAll released within 3 years from the time that the aimallpro.lic file is issued.
