Prior to downloading PVOptimize you must consent to the terms of our License Agreement. There are many legal details in the agreement which you can read in its entirety below. A few of its most important points are:

The license gives you permission to use the software on a single CPU (computer). You can transfer the license from one CPU to another, but the license cannot be used for more than one CPU at a time.
PVOptimize will work for seven days after you have installed it on your computer. You must purchase a license to continue using it after the seven day trial period.
If you want to use PVOptimize on more than one computer you will have to purchase a separate license for each CPU.
You acknowledge that PVOptimize requires an understanding of solar PV systems to be used properly, as well as requiring general competence in using software on a Windows platform. You should check your results to ensure that your information is correct. PVOptimize is an estimation and modeling tool. Estimates and models are not exact and are tools for use by professionals who have the expertise to evaluate their tools performance.
