PyMOL Sponsorship Information

---

If you use PyMOL at work, then you are asked to sponsor the project by purchasing a PyMOL Maintenance and/or Support Subscription. If you rely upon our incentive builds instead of compiling your own from the open-source code, then you are obligated to purchase maintenance services covering your scope of deployment.* For further encouragement, please see our updated Reasons to Sponsor PyMOL.

Subscription Pricing

• Academic (Non-profit)
     for academic researchers and educators.

• Industrial (For-Profit)
     for corporations and governments.

• Independent Contractors & Sole Proprietors
     for self-employed illustrators, animators, and consultants.

All paid subscriptions include upgrades during the subscription term, access to PyMOL Incentive Products such as the Online Documentation, and may include certain support services. Subscriptions are renewable on an annual basis at the mutual discretion of both parties.

* Subscriptions are not required for full-time students or in teaching full-time students. In such cases, however, DeLano Scientific LLC has no obligation to grant download access, fix bugs, furnish updates, provide documentation, or meet any other important need you may have. In practice, long-term reliance upon PyMOL for educational purposes requires a subscription purchase in order to secure essential services and baseline accountability.
