- Spartan Parallel Suite
licenses have additional features not included in the single-core
Spartan version. To confirm these features, you can open the
License Utility from the Help
menu in the upper right of the interface. If you have a Parallel Suite
license, you will see: the following listed under Features:
- Parallel
- indicating the license will perform Hartree-Fock, Density Functional,
RI-MP2, T1 thermochemical recipes, and the HF components of the Gx
thermochemical recipes over multiple cores (Spartan'18 can use up to 16
cores per single calculation, see Extended Threads, below).
- SSPD
- indicating that the license includes access to the Spartan Spectra
& Propertied Database, a collection of >300,000 molecules with
structures available from either the ωB97X-D/6-31G* or
EDF2/6-31G*. These include structures, energies, atomic and molecular
properties, NMR and IR (EDF2 only) spectra, T1 heats of formation and a
an additional big basis set energy (ωB97X-V/6-311+G(2df,2p) based
on the ωB97X-D/6-31G* structure. The SSPD associated with
the Spartan'18 Parallel Suite is SSPD version 5.0 and must be
downloaded and installed separately.
- Remote Device Count -
This is a count of devices that are authorized to remotely submit
jobs to the Parallel Suite license. Submission can come from
other Spartan licenses (Spartan'16 or newer), or from the iSpartan
app running on an iOS device. Note, each iOS device is counted
as "1 device", however, only the first Spartan license is counted.
In other words, the Parallel Suite can accept remotely submitted
jobs from a larger number of Spartan licenses than the actual
device count. The default device count is 2,
contact sales@wavefun.com to
increase the count to support additional iOS devices.
- Extended Threads -
The default # of physical cores that Spartan Parallel Suite can
utilize is 16. Customers may optionally license the
Parallel Suite for > 16 cores.
If your licenses includes >16 cores you will see
the Extended Threads note listed under Features in
the License Utility.

- Expiration Date.
All new Spartan licenses include
one year of maintenance. Maintenance provides for all minor and major
version updates, priority technical support, and any necessary license
transfers (Parallel Suite maintenance also includes any updates to the
SSPD). The inclusion of maintenance necessitates an initial expiration
date for maintenance and the license. Wavefunction contacts
customers as 90, 60, and 30 days prior to expiration with the option to
renew maintenance. Customers are not obligated to renew. If maintenance
is renewed, an updated license is provided valid through the new
maintenance date and the benefits of maintenance are extended through
this term. If maintenance is not renewed, customers are provided with a
perpetual license (without maintenance) for the latest version of
Spartan or Spartan Parallel Suite at the time the maintenance
expired (future upgrades or transfers will be subject to upgrade or
transfer fees).
