== Do I require a TUFLOW licence to create TUFLOW inputs and view results from a TUFLOW simulation? ==
No, a TUFLOW licence is only needed to run simulations
* Process control files (.tcf, etc), check the data inputs and to construct the model using the GIS layers and other inputs. As part of this process any ERROR, WARNING or CHECK messages are issued to help resolve input data conflicts. Check files and GIS layers representing the final model construct are also produced to quality control the model’s inputs.
* To carry out the hydraulic computations provided the Step 1 above produces no ERROR messages.
No licence is needed for all other tasks, including:
* Creation and editing of all input files and GIS layers.
* Running GIS plugins such as the QGIS TUFLOW Viewer.
* Running utilities (e.g. asc_to_asc.exe).
* Reviewing check files/layers in GIS.
* Viewing results (e.g. using TUFLOW Viewer in QGIS).
All TUFLOW inputs and outputs use free open formats that are readable and editable by third party software, for example QGIS and Notepad++:
* Download Notepad++ to create and review tabular data: <u>[[NotepadPlusPlus_Tips | Notepad++ installation and tips]]</u>.
* Download QGIS: <u>[[QGIS_Tips | QGIS installation and tips]]</u>.
