License

ICHEC has a site license that allows us to provide access to binary versions of VASP versions 4.6 and 5.2 to users who already have their own VASP license. In order to be allowed access to these versions users must contact the Helpdesk with details of their own VASP license. Once we have confirmed these details with the authors we can grant access.
