VASP Software GmbH has recently revised licensing conditions for VASP6 at NCI. This revision may affect which version of VASP you can use, effective 5 May 2021.
Users covered by a VASP license with a “Valid to” date later than 30 June 2019 can access VASP6 through a new software group “vasp6”. If your VASP license has a “Valid to” date later than 30 June 2019, you can request to join the VASP6 software group using the link
https://my.nci.org.au/mancini/project/vasp6/join
Please ensure that your email addresses registered for your NCI user account through https://my.nci.org.au and VASP at https://vasp.at are the same. For license verification these email addresses must be identical. (Your NCI account email address should always be your current work email.)
Per VASP Software GmbH licensing requirements, NCI will restrict VASP6 access to “vasp6” software group members only starting on Wednesday 5 May. NCI recommends that all eligible VASP6 users join the “vasp6” software group as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, users covered by a VASP license with a “Valid to” date of 30 June 2019 or earlier may continue to use VASP5, but are not eligible to use VASP6 under the revised licensing conditions. Please contact VASP Software GmbH (https://vasp.at) if you require a new VASP license.
If you have questions about these changes to VASP licensing please contact NCI User Services for further information – help@nci.org.au .
