Eligible Institutions

Only officially accredited EDUCATIONAL institutions are eligible to obtain ATLAS.ti educational licenses. This status requires accreditation on the part of a nationally recognized accrediting agency. This includes: universities (including distance and continuing education programs), colleges, junior colleges, scientific and technical schools, vocational schools, and correspondence schools.

Educational licenses can also be purchased by officially employed teaching and research staff of officially accredited educational institutions. Students may obtain specially discounted student licenses.

NOTE: We reserve the right to request written proof of eligibility at any time. Proof of eligibility is a legally binding written statement demonstrating that an institution or employer qualifies as an officially accredited educational institution. By ordering an educational license you agree to submit proof of eligibility upon request. If you fail to demonstrate eligibility, you will be charged the difference in price to the standard version.

The Educational License prohibits all commercial uses of the program. This includes for-profit ATLAS.ti training sessions. Educational licenses are available exclusively to non-commercial, accredited EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS and their employees.

Use of the program is expressly restricted to use in teaching and research. Administrative use of the program is considered a commercial application and thus not allowed under the Educational License policy.

Only accredited educational institutions and employees of accredited educational institutions in teaching and research are eligible for ATLAS.ti educational licenses.

Non-Profit Organizations, Government Pricing

Non-profit organizations that are not accredited educational institutions as defined above are NOT automatically eligible for discounted educational licenses. ATLAS.ti GmbH supports numerous non-profit organizations, NGOs, and institutions world-wide, through special discounts. However, ATLAS.ti reserves the right to make the decision of their support strictly on an individual, case-by-base basis.

Government agencies and supra-national organizations (such as EU, UN, etc.) will need to obtain standard licenses exclusively. There is currently no special pricing available for government institutions.

Please note

• Educational and Standard Licenses differ legally but are technically identical.
• ATLAS.ti software and documentation are currently available in English only.
