For molecular modelers working in academia, cost and accessibility of tools can be pressing concerns. SAMSON, the integrative molecular design platform, offers an excellent solution: academic status benefits. These benefits include adding some SAMSON Extensions for free and receiving significant discounts (up to 90%) on many non-free extensions.
So, how can you get this academic status and maximize your productivity with SAMSON? Here’s a complete guide:
Register Using Your Institutional Email
To qualify for academic status, start by registering on SAMSON Connect with your academic or institutional email address. Once registered, SAMSON will verify your email and grant academic status within 1-2 working days. If you’re in doubt, make sure your email meets this requirement to avoid delays.
What If You Don’t Have an Academic Email?
Not everyone working in academia necessarily uses an academic email address. If you’re a student or researcher without such an email, don’t worry! You can still reach out via email, explain your situation, and SAMSON’s team will review your request.
What If It’s Taking Longer?
If you’ve signed up with an academic email and still don’t see your academic status after a couple of days, SAMSON encourages you to get in touch with their support team. They’re responsive and will help resolve any issues swiftly.
Important Notes About Email Changes
If you need to change the email address associated with your account in the future, note that you will have to reinstall SAMSON using the new credentials. This ensures that the academic status and account details remain synchronized.
Academic status opens up a wealth of features that can drastically improve your modeling workflows, so don’t miss this opportunity if you’re in academia! For detailed steps or troubleshooting, head to the original SAMSON FAQ page.
