I would like to know if it is possible to use the same Ecoinvent license in different LCA software? or is it necessary to contract a specific license when acquiring the software?

Dear Chris,

 

 

 

Thank you for your question.

 

Our commercial licences are all single-user. Hence, it is possible to use the same ecoinvent licence through different software applications if the end-user of the different applications remains the same “physical” person, i.e. the user who owns the ecoinvent licence. Please note that integration fees for LCA Software applications can be charged by LCA Software providers, which may be something to consider.

 

 

Best regards,
