About the O-PAS™ Standard, Version 2.1 and Earlier Non-Commercial License Agreement

The O-PAS™ Standard, Version 2.1 and Earlier Non-Commercial License:

  • Is issued free-of-charge to any Corporate and Academic Institution using the O-PAS™ Standard, Version 2.1, or any earlier version, entirely for non-commercial use
  • Is subject to important licensing conditions aimed at maintaining the value of the O-PAS Standard in the market place
  • Is a perpetual license; you do not have to apply to renew the license, and, provided you adhere to the licensing conditions, the license will never be revoked
  • Covers all full-time employees of the licensing organization; we require a single point of contact to be designated within the licensing organization

This is not a Commercial License. If you wish to use the O-PAS Standard, Version 2.1, or any earlier version, for commercial purposes (for example, to develop or provide process automation technology solutions and related services, product, tools, or consultancy for use within another organization), then your organization must have a current O-PAS Standard, Version 2.1 and Earlier Annual Commercial License.
