OpenSpirit Corporation licenses software for both end-users and software developers.

End-User Runtime Licenses

These licenses are used by companies that wish to run OpenSpirit enabled applications. Runtime licenses can be purchased directly from OpenSpirit Corp. or through application software vendors who have signed up as an OpenSpirit VAR (Value Added Reseller). Many software vendors who are developing OpenSpirit enabled applications have signed up as a VAR so that they may bundle OpenSpirit with their applications as a convenience to their customers.

The key aspects of OpenSpirit runtime licenses are:

Runtime licenses work on a "per concurrent user" basis (e.g. floating license within a site)
Any number of OpenSpirit enabled applications may be run simultaneously by a single end-user with only one runtime license required
A session may span multiple computers (e.g. OpenSpirit data servers running on Solaris, and end-user applications running on Windows NT and Solaris)

There are two types of runtime licenses - Base Framework and Subsurface Data Module.

Download the runtime product brochure.

Base Framework

The Base Framework includes generic services required by any OpenSpirit Data Module or OpenSpirit enabled application and is required for any OpenSpirit session.

Includes OpenSpirit object services used by all data servers
Includes OpenSpirit Well, Section, and 3D Viewers (based on INT J/GeoToolkit visualization components)
Only one Base Framework license is required per session for a single end-user, regardless of the number of Data Modules

Subsurface Data Modules

The Subsurface Data Module implements standard business objects such as wells, wellbores, logs, picks, 2D and 3D seismic, horizons, and faults. Customers purchase the version of data module that connects to their database(s) of choice.

Multiple Versions
•   OpenWorks™ datastore version (supports reading and writing Landmark's OpenWorks™ and SeisWorks™ data)
•   GeoFrame® datastore version (supports reading and writing GeoQuest's GeoFrame®, IESX®, and Charisma® data)
Finder® datastore version (supports reading and writing GeoQuest's Finder® data)
Managed SEGY Seismic data (2D and 3D)
•   Gocad (supports reading and writing EDS's Gocad Voxet data)
Includes all supported versions for the given datastore type (e.g. OpenSpirit v2.5 Subsurface Data Module for OpenWorks includes data servers for OpenWorks 98.5, 98.8, and 2003)
In a user session, only one license is required for a given data store type, regardless of how many projects are being accessed

GIS Integration Utilities

OpenSpirit offers two optional add-on products to assist customers in integrating their subsurface data with GIS systems: the OpenSpirit Scan Utility and the OpenSpirit ArcView Extension.

Download the GIS Integration Utilties product brochure.

OpenSpirit Scan Utility
This utility allows users to scan all, or selected projects, in an OpenSpirit supported datastore and optionally output the well, seismic, and horizon shape files. These generated files may then be viewed in ESRI's GIS products or any GIS product that can read these standard GIS formats.
OpenSpirit ArcView Extension

This utility is a custom ArcView extension that allows ArcView to be used as an OpenSpirit enabled application to send OpenSpirit cursor location and object selection events. This extension works with the GIS files generated by the OpenSpirit Shapes utility.

Data Management Utilities

These optional add-ons are components that can assist in a variety of data management workflows.

Download the Data Management Utilities product brochure.

CopySync Utility

This utility offers easy to use one-step data transfer between OpenSpirit enabled datastores. Select data geographically (using the Openspirit ArcView Extension) or via attribute attribute queries from one or more projects and then transfer the selected data to a destination projects. CopySync does the required unit and coordinate transformation and documents the data transfer in a web browsable log file.

Excel Adaptor

This utility allows users to listen for OpenSpirit data or object section events and then automtaically pastes desired data attributes into Excel. This enables a variety of ad-hoc reporting and data reformatting tasks to be performed in a tool, Excel, that most users are already familiar with.

Software Developer Licenses

A Developer's License is required in order to develop applications that make calls to the OpenSpirit Framework. Licensees include commercial software vendors, system integrators, and internal oil company technology groups. An Application Connection License is required in order to deploy an OpenSpirit enabled application in productive use.

Download the Developer Kit product brochure.

Developer License

Every developer that uses the OpenSpirit developer's kit requires a developer's license

Developer licenses are sold on a "per named developer basis" (not floating licenses)
Allows development on any supported platform (Solaris, Windows NT/2000, IRIX and Linux)
Includes source code for 100+ example applications in Java, C++, VB, and C# to illustrate usage and expedite development
Includes required CORBA and CORBA services developer's licenses
Includes all runtime modules (Base Framework , Data Modules, and associated viewers) for use by named developer for development and testing
Controlled by flexLM license keys (userid of developer must appear in the flexLM option file)

Application Connection License

A royalty is due when an OpenSpirit based application is deployed in productive use (not just testing)
Two models
1)   Internal use (within an oil company or for internal service use)
-   Based on concurrent user (any number of internally deployed applications)
2)   For resale
-   Based on concurrent user's license of the application
-   Pricing is based on the application's usage pattern
