Data Scientist License

Data Scientist license is meant for personal Python projects, such as performing data analysis on Python notebooks.

The data scientist license can have one of the following three statuses:

The actual license key which you can obtain remains the same regardless of whether the status is trial, free, or premium. The license status is checked through the Customer Portal at runtime, so using the Data Scientist license requires an internet connection.

The license key contains information to identify the user. For this reason, the Data Scientist license is intended for personal use and should not be shared with others. The license also has one active session at a time.

Trial version​

To get started with the Data Scientist license, navigate to lightningchart.com/python-charts and fill the trial form under Get Started.

After you submit the form, you will get your personal Data Scientist license key delivered to your e-mail. The license key will function as full-feature premium version during the 7-day trial period.

To use the Data Scientist license, pass the license key to the set_license method under lightningchart:

import lightningchart as lc

license_key = 'P001-...'
lc.set_license(license_key)

# Or alternatively, read the key from a text file:
lc.set_license(open('./license-key.txt').read())

Free version​

After the 7-day trial is over, the license will automatically downgrade to the free version, which is limited in features, but works indefinitely.

At any point, the free license can be upgraded to the full-feature premium version via the Customer Portal by activating your subscription.

Premium version​

The premium version can be accessed by activating a subscription on Customer Portal.

To activate the subscription:

Subscription management

On the Subscriptions page, you can see the current status of your Data Scientist license and copy the license key by pressing the yellow key icon under License Key.
