IBM Academic Initiative provides you with the same functionality as with the commercial edition of CPLEX Optimization Studio. This includes memory capacity and speed.
The difference between the editions is in licensing, manifested in two ways.
1. The visible difference is that a time-limited
license key is required for use of the Academic Initiative edition, whereas for the commercial edition this is not necessary.
2. The
license agreements for these two editions are quite different, and in a nutshell the Academic Initiative edition must not be used for commercial purposes.
While common sense should cover most cases, users should please read the license agreement carefully if you have any doubt about your particular situation, as it is the definitive statement covering the Academic Initiative edition.
