Commercial and other use

For any other use besides the specific cases listed above, you must first obtain a commercial license from the California Institute of Technology. To do so, please contact us by sending an email to tfocs@cvxr.com and we will quickly put you in touch with the licensing office. Please note that you must obtain this license before downloading or using TFOCS.

In many cases, we can arrange a free trial, so please do not hesitate to contact us.

Support

Support for TFOCS, for either academic or commercial licenses, is available for purchase. The CVX/TFOCS forum, ask.cvxr.com, is free for all users, but we cannot guarantee that a developer will answer your question. We do our best to answer most questions, but in-depth help requires the purchase of a support package.

Please note: we now discourage emails requesting help, in favor of the forum.
