Licensing

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

Deployment of SMILE library or SMILE wrappers, i.e., embedding them into user programs, requires a deployment license. There are two types of deployment licenses: Server license, which allows a program linked with SMILE to be deployed on a computer server, and end-user program license, which allows distribution of user programs that include SMILE. Please contact BayesFusion, LLC, for details of the licenses and pricing.

The licensing system is implemented as a fragment of code which contains your license key and must be executed as first call into SMILE wrapper that your program uses. This code is not included in the SMILE wrapper binary distribution, it is personalized by BayesFusion, LLC, for you or your organization. The license keys are provided in a compressed .zip file, which contains Java, R, Python, C# and VB.NET code. 6-month academic and free 30-day evaluation licenses can be obtained directly at https://download.bayesfusion.com.
