Am I required to purchase a benchmark license?
A paid license is required for any for-profit entity that sells computers or computer related products in the commercial marketplace, with the exception of SPEC/GWPG member companies (AMD, Dell, Fujitsu, HP Inc, Intel, Lenovo, Nvidia, VeriSilicon) that receive benchmark licenses as a membership benefit. Examples of those requiring a paid license include:
- Computer hardware and software vendors
- Computer component manufacturers (hard drives, memory, device vendors)
- Computer-related service providers (for-profit resellers, distributors, consultants)
- Computer operating system companies
License holders are eligible for a free upgrade to a newly released benchmark of the same application or suite that is released within 6 months of the license purchase. Please contact us to take advantage of this offer.
Retired benchmarks are not available for licensed purchase or download.
