Size-Limited Licence

Build for Free.

Getting started couldn't be easier.

Every installation of gurobipy—whether installed with pip or conda—includes a free size-limited license, so you can build and test models immediately. It's intended for non-production use, including learning, prototyping, evaluating, and exploring mathematical optimization with Gurobi.

Models are limited to 2,000 variables and 2,000 linear constraints (or 200 variables for models with quadratic terms).

For non-commercial use only.

Free Licences

Academic License

Full-featured, with no model size limits.

Free for faculty, staff, and students at degree-granting institutions. Connect from your institution's network to activate.

Commercial Free Trial

No model size limits, with direct support from our Expert Team. The best way to test Gurobi against real problems at real scale before you commit.

Commercial Licences

Commercial licenses are available through a range of licensing options, with annual subscription plans designed to meet different deployment and usage requirements.

The right licensing option depends on your deployment environment, computational requirements, concurrency needs, and the number of authorized users. Our team will help you choose the license that best fits your technical and business requirements.
