Change in the Academic Policy
Toronto, Canada, Dec 1, 2008: Over the past many years
SimBioSys has enjoyed a treasured relationship with our academic
users. We have delivered hundreds of eHiTS licenses to users all over
the world and are presently installed in over 200 research
institutions. The outcome of this contribution to the pedagogical
development of the community has been increased awareness in terms of
the value of such software approaches to virtual screening and
docking, and we are proud of our contribution. With this success has
come an increased burden in terms of technical support calls,
requests for training, and the work required to support renewal of
licenses and so on.
With this in mind we
have chosen to change our policies in terms of free eHiTS licenses
for academia. As of January 1st 2009 we will release eHiTS
2009 and will use this release as a transition point from free
software for academia to support-contract based software licenses.
What will this mean to you, the users? In order to cover our
increasing costs of supporting newer versions of eHiTS we will charge
a modest annual fee per site. This fee will be instituted as of the release of eHiTS
2009 and will apply to all license renewals of existing licenses of
eHiTS also.
We believe you will find
our service-based contract fees agreeable, and competitive compared
to other docking software applications available on the market
today. We hope for your understanding and for your continued support
as we work to make eHiTS the optimal solution for docking.

Free eHiTS for Academic
Institutions
Toronto, Canada, Apr 20, 2005:
SimBioSys, Inc., offers eHiTS 5.1 and later versions free for teaching and academic
research!
eHiTS is the truly exhaustive docking program that explores the full
conformational and pose space. The newly released version 5.1 ships
with a fully automated training facility that can tune the scoring
function to
particular receptors or protein families, improving both accuracy and
enrichment results.
eHiTS consistently outperforms other docking tools in validation
comparisons, using publically available datasets, resulting in more
accurate docking poses. In addition, the automated handling of
protonation states produces more accurate screening results for large
databases, where up-front estimation of the protonation states for all
ligand/receptor combinations is impossible. eHiTS evaluates all
possible protonation states in a single run.
To further improve the great results of eHiTS, the new training
facility
allows the user to tailor the scoring functions to recognize particular
families of interest and better score ligands that make key
interactions.
The training utility is very simple to use and can improve both
accuracy and enrichment results.
SimBioSys recognizes the importance of docking research in the academic
world, and the financial constraints of many academic
institutions. With this in mind, we are offering eHiTS 5.1 free
for most academic institutions.
For more information about eHiTS 5.1 and to obtain an evaluation of the
software, please visit our website (www.simbiosys.com) and fill out a
demo
request form.
|
Process:
To get enrolled into the program please
request a free demo
of eHiTS. During the evaluation period we will sign the fee based
academic license agreement with your Institute. So, that at the end
of the evaluation your license will be automatically upgraded to an
annual academic license.
