THE RIGHT LICENSE FOR YOU
Getting Started
Choose from commercial licenses tailored to your deployment and usage requirements, or free licenses for learning, research, evaluation, and other non-commercial use.
SIZE-LIMITED LICENSE
Build.
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 LICENSES

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
Evaluate Gurobi on your own models with a full-featured 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.
