Software Support
SES’s acclaimed Extended Technical Support Service (ETS) is provided by an internationally recognized team of engineers and physicists, whose research activities have resulted in major contributions to leading scientific organizations. With an active ETS service, you will be entitled to engage this team with unlimited requests, whether for general engineering support or advice on any topic within their considerable realm of expertise, including guidance on how to apply the software to your designs and projects. For most software packages, one year of ETS is included at no additional cost.
You will also benefit from our Additions, Enhancements, Updates Service, including Maintenance and Insurance (AEU-MI) which, following the purchase of any software package, is also provided free of charge for one year. With an active AEU-MI service, you will receive software patches and updates, including new features and improvements.

Effortless Upgrades
Users may easily broaden the scope of project types to which their software can be applied by upgrading to the full CDEGS software suite, or by simply adding one or more of its many packages: AutoGroundDesign, AutoGrid Pro, AutoGround, MultiGround, MultiLines, MultiGroundZ, MultiFields, Right-of-Way Pro, CorrCAD, SESEnviroPlus, SESTLC Pro, SESShield-2D, or SESShield-3D.
Join the ranks of thousands of satisfied CDEGS users (utilities, consultants, engineering firms, research organizations, universities, etc.) by acquiring a powerful, fully tested suite of scientific software, obtainable for a fraction of the cost to design, code, and test similar packages. We are confident that you will be able to recover the cost of your license fee with the completion of a few projects.
All software package shipments include a USB 3.0 data drive containing pertinent documentation and video tutorials. Non-exclusive licenses are granted based on a period of 50 years, or as yearly subscriptions or rentals with an optional conversion to a 50-year permanent license.
