The three different versions of GEMPACK all allow you to use and modify existing models or to build new models. The main difference between the versions is the size of the models they can handle.
The Limited Executable-Image Version can only handle small or medium-sized models, such as single-country models with less than 40 sectors or multi-regional models with up to 9 or 10 regions and sectors. Those wishing to find out more about GEMPACK may download a 3-month free trial of this version. Both individual and site licences are available.
The Unlimited Executable-Image Version can handle models of any size. You are limited only by the amount of memory on your computer. Only site licences are available.
Read more about Executable-Image Versions and licences.
The Source-Code Version can also handle models of any size, but it solves large models much more quickly than the Unlimited Executable-Image Version. Also, you can re-distribute your model to others. A Fortran compiler is required. Only site licences are available (either permanent or by annual subscription).

The Introductory GEMPACK licence lets you run models created by others (but not create your own model).
See this Tabular summary of features of different GEMPACK Versions. Or read about prices and ordering.
Each Individual or Single-user licence covers one or several PCs used by one
person.
A site licence can be used by any number of modellers within the relevant part
(department, centre etc) of your organisation.
The Limited Executable-Image Version is ideal for use in teaching, including in a computer laboratory. We use the Limited Executable-Image in our annual courses.
The Limited Executable-Image Version is a good starting point. If your models become too large you can upgrade to the Unlimited Executable-Image Version or to the Source-Code Version later.
Either the Unlimited Executable-Image Version or the Source-Code Version is what you will probably need.
For government departments, research institutes, private sector organisations or academics using large models, the Source-Code Version is most appropriate.
