SMS:Community Version

Starting at version 12.2 there is a free version of SMS called "Community Edition". It is limited to include only the 2D mesh module and the SRH-2D model interface. It is also restricted in the size of the mesh and the number of simulations. Any size model can be imported, but if the mesh exceeds 5000 elements or the number of simulations is more than one, the project cannot be saved and a watermark is displayed in the Graphics Window. The community edition must still be registered using a license code which can be obtained via the internet from the Registration Wizard (Help | Register | Change Registration | Get Community Edition License).

Check to see if running in Community Edition mode by going to the Registration dialog. The size limits are displayed in the About dialog which is accessed through the About command in the Help menu.

The Community Edition capabilities are as follows:
