ThermoTun - Licences
ThermoTun and RoadTun can be licenced only from Dundee Tunnel Research. They are provided only as part of a service contract, not as stand-alone licence arrangements.
DTR's contracts include:
- a licence to use the software
- user-specific development (free up to a predetermined limit)
- user-specific support
- fault fixing (free)
In practice, nearly all of the support time is used either in assisting new users to understand tunnel design or in developing the software for client-specific purposes. Fault-fixing is free, but most users never encounter a fault so the principal effect of this feature is to demonstrate DTR's belief in the reliability of its software.
Do you need ThermoTun?
If you need ThermoTun, you have two broad options. One is to licence the software on the standard terms. The other is to commission an existing user to use the software on your behalf. In either case, begin by contacting DTR as follows:
