ETAP License Options
In order to provide the highest customer value, ETAP offers the following licensing options: Commercial, Advantage, and Nuclear. Each option has been tailored to meet specific customer needs. The new ETAP Advantage option has been added due to the increase demand from customers and consultants in a variety of industries requesting additional quality assurance documentation and reports to provide written performance confidence and surety of ETAP software.

The Advantage license option has been developed for all types of industries and consulting firms. With this new licensing option, ETAP users can:
  • Eliminate man-hours and expense of internal software validation
  • Take advantage of an established and credible QA program since 1991
  • Gain proof of software and libraries accuracy with minimal investment
  • Receive formal notification of in-depth exception listing of performance

License Type Descriptions
Commercial License
The commercial version of ETAP is a fully integrated enterprise solution that provides verified and validated libraries, ISO 9001 certification, a high level of quality assurance, and base package. With this license you receive one year of staff support, upgrades, Network License Manager, extensive help files, user guide, and online tutorials. The base package of ETAP can be readily expanded into a real-time intelligent power management system. If you already have a power management software and the cost of revalidating a new software package is prohibitive in time and expense, consider the ETAP Advantage license.
Advantage License
ETAP Advantage adds the performance reports and Verification & Validation (V&V) documentation that is often required for non-nuclear companies. This documentation attests to ETAP being rigorously tested, verified and validated against field results, real system measurements, and hand calculations to ensure optimal technical accuracy. Receive full access to an in-depth exception listing of ETAP calculation accuracy, a Verification & Validation Certification Letter certifying that ETAP employs a V&V program per the quality assurance standards and requirements, and updated documentation of ongoing audits of ETAP software. With ETAP Advantage, companies are able to discontinue the use of inadequate and obsolete programs kept in operation due to the high costs of revalidating new software.
Nuclear License
The ETAP nuclear package is OTI’s premier offering. More than 88% of U.S. Nuclear generating plants have standardized on the use of ETAP. Electrical system design for Nuclear Utility Plants requires a tool that complies with the United States Code of Federal Regulation. ETAP nuclear customers receive Validated & Verified software on a regular basis, so facilities don't have to spend time and money for internal validation. Accordingly, engineers are able to use the latest version of ETAP with the newest features and powerful enhancements. In addition, engineers benefit from the ongoing QA audits by other facilities including NUPIC members.
