Licensing

SMILE wrappers are commercial products that require a development license. There are two types of development licenses: Academic and Commercial. An Academic license is free of charge for research and teaching use by individuals affiliated with an academic institution. All other uses require a Commercial license, which is available for purchase from BayesFusion, LLC.

Deployment of the SMILE library or SMILE wrappers—that is, embedding them into user programs—requires a deployment license. There are two types of deployment licenses:

•Server license — allows a program linked with SMILE to be deployed on a computer server.

•End-user program license — allows distribution of user programs that include SMILE.

For details on licensing and pricing, please contact BayesFusion, LLC.

The licensing system is implemented as a code fragment containing your license key, which must be executed as the first call to the SMILE wrapper used by your program. This code is not included in the SMILE wrapper binary distribution; it is personalized for you or your organization by BayesFusion, LLC. License keys are provided in a compressed .zip file containing Python, Java, R, C#, and VB.NET code. Six-month Academic licenses and free 30-day evaluation licenses can be obtained directly at https://download.bayesfusion.com.
