The roots of RacerPro were in the fundamental research environment of the University of Hamburg.
For this reason and because the authors continue to work as researchers Racer Systems is glad to support basic research and the higher education of students by allowing the use of RacerPro in these settings. However, the continuous development and support of RacerPro is a business venture and Racer Systems only grants free licenses to individuals working at qualified, non-commercial, degree-granting and non-profit institutions like universities or schools. The right to decline the grant is still reserved by Racer Systems. There is no right of a grant to anyone or any institution.
If you think you and your institution are eligible feel free to fill out the application form. After submitting your data your e-mail address is verified by an automated e-mail with a secret link that only you will know of and which you have to access at least once to continue to Step 2. Afterwards we will qualify your application. Therefore please provide us with all information we requested in English (or German) and let us verify your identiy by using an e-mail address from the Internet domain of the organizsation you work at or provide us an URL to your home page under the same domain as the referred organizsation.
See below for a detailed technical description of the three-step process of receiving a free license.
Once you have been entitled to a free RacerPro license you may use it for half a year (180 days). After that period you will have to purchase a license of your choice. If your are a student still working on your thesis please contact us for a prolongation of your existing license. We kindly ask you to name Racer Systems GmbH & Co. KG, our web link and our product "RacerPro" in your papers and publications.
Getting access to an educational license of the RacerPro software is a three step process:
- Fill out the
form indicated below and click "Continue".
You will receive a unique transaction ID and your request will be queued for processing. It is a good idea to note down the transaction ID in case there are any problems.
You will also receive a confirmation e-mail containing your transaction ID at the specified e-mail address. Please make sure that your e-mail filters allow mail from the domain "@racer-systems.com" to reach you.
After receiving the e-mail you should invoke the appropriate link to prove your identity ("double opt-in"), or you may cancel the request using the appropriate link in the e-mail.
Your browser will load a web page that signals you the successful verification and also gives you access to your individual download page. Here you will then have the opportunity to download a very limited RacerPro trial immediately. This version can later (in Step 3) be upgraded to the requested educational license by adding the appropriate license file.
- Wait for an e-mail from us at the address you specified detailing the steps needed to download the software. Again please make sure that your e-mail filters allow mail from the domain "@racer-systems.com" to reach you.
We try to respond as soon as possible but please allow two business days for processing. In some cases we may need to contact you to clarify the data you entered though.
- Follow the instructions in our reply e-mail to download the educational RacerPro Desktop license. The reply will usually contain a personal download link valid for a limited time only.
Please note that by downloading the software you enter a legally binding contract with Racer Systems GmbH & Co. KG as specified in the educational license agreement.
