To promote the innovation in software engineering research, specifically in the area of code quality and static analysis, we are providing free licenses of Designite to academic researchers and students.

You must fulfill the following criteria to be eligible for a free academic license:

• You must be an academic researcher or a student.
• Your intention is to use the software for research and/or education only.

Fill the following form to request a free academic license that will allow you to use all the features offered by the tool without any restriction.

What happens after you submit a request?

Once you submit a request to acquire an academic license of Designite using the above form, we will review the request and email you whether the request is successful along with further instructions concerning the license acquisition.

If you made a mistake in registering the license key that you got from us, please raise another request. Also, importantly, email us (contact@designite-tools.com) stating the reason you are requesting the second license. In the absence of the email, we don't really understand why you need another license and may reject your request.

How you can avoid common mistakes?

• We currently offer Designite for C# as well as for Java. Download the appropriate tool that you would like to use in your research/experiment. If you download C# version of Designite and use your license key with that, you cannot use the same license key to register DesigniteJava and vice-versa.
• One common mistake is that people download DesigniteJava.jar, register it, and then move the jar to another folder. After moving the jar file, the tool won't be able to find the license key that the tool stores in a config file in the same folder where jar is placed at the time of registration. Hence, move the jar file first and then register; or, move the .config file as well with the jar file.

In case you face problems with registration of license or with using the tool, write to us.
