FlowJo Licenses

Each option requires a free FlowJo Portal account in order to log into the software.

• Single User: The license allows one user to log into FlowJo with their Portal account on up to 4 computers with an internet connection, one at a time. This user is responsible for managing the account. We stress that you be very careful which computers you choose, as you will have a maximum of 4 hardware addresses associated with your account.
• Single Computer: The license will be associated with a computer and not a person. This would be best for a shared lab workstation and can be used by an unlimited number of users. Each user of that computer will need to sign up for a FlowJo portal profile and use it to log in.

FCS Express Licenses

FCS Express requires a free De Novo Software account in order to download the software.

The Flow and Image editions have been combined, and each software license now includes the following features:

• Flow Cytometry
• Image Cytometry
• High Content Tools
• Advanced Multi-Cycle Functionality
