FAQ on the commercial version

(answers provided by Gatehouse)

What is the difference between the free and the commercial version of IWRAP?

The primary difference between the commercial version and the basic version of IWRAP Mk2 is, that the commercial version automatically extracts information from AIS data. In the basic version, which is made available free of charge to IALA members, the analyst would have to do this manually, which is time consuming and somewhat cumbersome.

Are there any issues with running the application behind corporate firewalls?

No, IWRAP uses simple HTTP request to download maps, should not be a problem unless the firewall is extremely restrictive.

Licence is per user or per organisation?

Currently per user. A license is locked to one user, a user may install on several computers e.g. office desktop and additional laptop. If you need several licenses I am of course flexible with regards to pricing.

How many users can be allowed on one user licence?

See the answer above.

What is the current cost per annum?

3500 Euro the first year and 2800 the following years for IALA members.

6000 Euro the first year and 4500 the following years for non-IALA members.

What environments can it work on (e.g. Windows 7, other?)

Windows 7 or later.

What sort of support can our IT team expect?

Normally we have day to day problem solving, e.g. in case encounter a bug. Currently we don’t have any known bugs and it is very rare that people have problems using IWRAP, even people who have received no training. The critical phase is usually the AIS data import , as there are no standards, IWRAP has become very flexible when it comes to handling different formats and I will of course assist you to make sure you get through this phase correctly.

Best installed on PC or on the corporate network?

Currently only PC.

Impact on PC performance if installed a) on PC and b) if installed on network

Depends on what you want to do ;-), I have heard of people having IWRAP loading tons of data over night or performing analysis over night, but that should rarely be needed. On a normal multi core computer it is no problem to have IWRAP running and processing in the background.
