To fully activate your copy of WEAP, a valid License is required.
Licensed users are given a user name and registration code that "unlocks" the read-only
evaluation version of WEAP that can be downloaded from this site.
The unlocked version is required when creating your own analyses. We
are a non-profit research organization;
these licensing fees help offset some of our costs of further development of WEAP and technical support.
Terms and Conditions
License fees are outlined below. Each license is for a 2 year period, and
can be used simultaneously by an unlimited number of users at one site. During the 2 year license period, licensed users are entitled to free upgrades and to
limited technical support.
SEI-US is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All the money we collect in WEAP license fees (from users in high-income countries) goes to supporting developing country users or in further developing the software and documentation.
No copies of the software or the information required to unlock the software may be distributed to any other individual
or organization.
One student, for use on their research while they are enrolled at a university or accredited educational institution in an industrialized country. (Students in developing countries can apply for a free license.)
NB: this license is
intended for organizations using WEAP at a single site for their
own purposes. This license does not entitle the
organization to use WEAP at more than one site or for consulting
purposes (e.g. to prepare analyses or studies for a client, or
to conduct training or capacity building projects using WEAP).
Note: Eligibility for each type of license will be verified.
Contact
us for information on multi-site and other licensing arrangements.

during the two year license term. If your
computer is connected to the internet, WEAP will automatically notify you when
upgrades are available. An on-line user forum is available.
