Qosium Editions and Versions

This section introduces the different editions of Qosium and the most recent version numbers of each Qosium family component.

1. Qosium Editions #

There are four different editions of Qosium available:

  • Trial Edition
  • Evaluation Edition
  • Academic Edition
  • Commercial Edition

Trial and Evaluations Editions are free of charge and meant solely for evaluating Qosium’s suitability for your intended purposes.

Trial Edition is downloadable directly after the free registration, but it has functional limitations:

  • Qosium Scope: When writing results to disk, only the first 10 seconds are written. In Qosium Scope Lite, results file writing is not allowed at all.
  • Qosium Scope holds the statistics in the memory only from the last two minutes.
  • Qosium Scope & Qosium Scope Lite: Direct distribution of results is not available.
  • Qosium Scope: Measurements stop automatically after 10 minutes.

Evaluation Edition, like Academic and Commercial Editions, is a full version without functional limitations. To get that, contact our support. The Evaluation Edition is available for various environments, unlike Trial Edition, which is available only for Windows and Ubuntu.

Academic and Commercial Editions do not have technical differences but differ only in their intended use. Academic Edition is meant for research and educational organizations for work without direct commercial target. Commercial Edition is for companies and research organisations that, besides research and education, put effort also on commercial customer work with Qosium.

The following table summarizes the main differences between the editions.
