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. The typical response time is one day.

If you do not receive a response from us after a full working day, you may email us to check the status of your request. Before raising another request or sending an email, please check your spam/junk folder.

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.
• If you get OutOfMemory Exception, obviously the allocated heap memory is not enough to analyze the project you are analyzing. You may use -Xmx flag to increase the heap memory size used by JVM. Find more information about the flag here.

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