QuickPLS Software access
You download the software and activate or buy access through Microsoft Store. The current offer, Microsoft’s applicable purchase terms and the software licence shown with the product govern access. Website descriptions do not replace those terms. Final prices and availability are shown by Microsoft.
Individual access and teaching use
Policy published 6 November 2026. We offer individual plans for a named person, with academic, teaching and professional use included. A classroom demonstration is welcome; shared operation by multiple users requires separate access for each person. Contact us for an institutional arrangement.
Who is an individual plan for?
An individual plan covers one person. Use your own Microsoft account to buy and activate access. Each person who uses the app needs their own plan; accounts and access cannot be shared or resold.
Can I use my own second computer?
Yes, the same person may use their supported Windows computers within the Microsoft Store installation rules. Sign in with the account used to obtain access. Permission to install on another computer still covers only you.
Can I use QuickPLS for teaching or paid research?
Yes. Individual access can be used for study, teaching, academic research and professional work. You may demonstrate your analysis in a class. Each person who operates the app needs their own access; a single individual plan does not cover an entire lab. Contact us before buying for a shared lab or institution.
What happens to my projects when access expires?
Your saved project files stay on your computer when access expires. You need an active pass or subscription to open, view or edit them in QuickPLS Pro again. Save your work regularly and keep a backup of your project files.
How do renewal and cancellation work?
The free 30-day Launch Access Pass does not become a paid subscription. Paid plans renew until cancelled through your Microsoft account. Check the next charge and expiry date there. Microsoft handles payment, cancellation and any refund request under its applicable terms.
These guidelines explain our individual plans. The licence and Microsoft Store terms supplied with your purchase still apply, including any rights you already have. Read the access policy.
Your project data remain yours. Keep your own backups and export the reports you need while access is active. Microsoft’s app licence terms and the terms supplied with your purchase continue to apply. These guidelines do not replace an existing licence or your statutory rights.
Research and teaching material
Tutorials provide methodological and software guidance. You are responsible for selecting a suitable method, checking assumptions and interpreting your own results. Tutorial completion does not establish scientific validity or guarantee journal acceptance.
