Availability and costs

GeneSpring is available to researchers at CCHMC and UC on a cost-shared basis. For details on the cost please contact Eszter Belcher, BMI Business Director.

The Division of Biomedical Informatics charges a nominal fee for those wishing to participate in the shared usage of this software licensing.  Genespring is very expensive - and BMI needs to recover some of the cost associated with the floating licenses we purchase annually.

We currently have eight floating licenses for GeneSpring, so that the client can be installed anywhere and just needs to be connected to the license server.
