Configure Your License

Doing research is fun. Writing research grants: usually, not so much.

Digital tools are central pillars of research grants including efficient handling of compute and data needs. Most funding agencies considerably support software, compute and data needs under the umbrella of "direct cost". But how do you estimate this?

Use our configuration wizard to plan your data, processing and software needs over the next years. Once done, just download the budgetary quotation and submit as is with your research proposal. Not sure what exactly you need? We have a range of templates to choose from to help you get started!

Choose your Base License

Depending on your capabilities needs, choose one of the base licenses EXPLORATION, DISCOVERY, or IMPACT.

Customize to your Needs

Use the configuration wizard to customize, duration, extra storage, compute, etc.

How to procure DECTRIS CLOUD as a Scientist?

Procurement doesn't have to be a hassle. We have you covered. To help you avoid administrative hold ups, we have made buying a DECTRIS CLOUD license as science-friendly as possible.

There are two ways to procure a DECTRIS CLOUD license. If your procurement department will handle the order, we recommend to "Pay by Invoice". We will activate your license as soon as the order is confirmed by your procurement department.

If you have your own work related credit card and you want to speed things up, you can chose to "Pay by Credit Card" and then submit your receipt. Whatever works best for you and your patience.
