Personal edition

The Personal Edition of Decision Explorer® brings the power of Decision Explorer® within the reach of everyone. Although there are some limitations, you get the power you need for most projects. If you need more power, you can simply upgrade – the models are fully compatible.

The Personal edition is available for purchase by anyone without restriction. It used to be the Student edition, but there is no qualification needed.

What do you get?

You get the standard software and manuals by web download, and an install code to allow Personal edition capabilities (see below). This provides you with all the information you need in electronic form at a bargain price. Visit the online shop to purchase now.

Limitations?

This edition of the software provides most of the functionality of Decision Explorer®, but with some limitations.
