License Overview

Besides FBSprivat, which is designed for private and non-commercial use, there are several other categories. We would now like to give you a brief overview of the other FBS licenses:

  • The FBS-Demo version is used to test FBSprivat. This enables you to try FBSprivat for free before ordering a full license. You will receive the Demo version by filling a registration form. Click here to get to the demo version.
  • FBS-FuL is intended for universities and schools for the purpose of teaching and research. The use for these purposes is documented by license overlays in the background of the printouts, the functionality and scope of delivery is identical to the FBS-Bahn version.
  • FBS-Bahn specifically addresses the concerns of transport companies, railroad infrastructure companies or companies involved in planning and ordering services in local public transport.

The following list overviews of the functional scope of the different licenses.
