Regarding using VASP for a different project

#1 Post by Nishat Tasnim Hiramony » Sat May 10, 2025 5:23 am

Dear all,

I have VASP license as a member of a certain research group. Now, I am working in another group of the same institution and I was wondering if I can use VASP for this project. I actually just need to perform AIMD simulations using VASP. Is it allowed? This is probably not related to this forum but I could not figure out a better way to get accurate answers for this confusion. If you would like me to reach out differently, please let me know.

Dear Nishat Tasnim Hiramony,

Thank you for contacting us. In our FAQ section you will find a section which states:

VASP-licenses are not transferable from one research institution to another one. Any transfer of a license to another group at the same research institution has to be approved by the VASP Software GmbH explicitly.

Please contact us at licensing@vasp.at for further information.

To get a final answer which is approved by our licensing team please contact them via the email address licensing@vasp.at.

All the best Jonathan
