I have some question regarding the purchase of the institutional license.
In the description of it, written in grey. It says “experiments designed by all members of that institution”. Does that mean, when cloning an experiment from a different user outside of the institution, and then using that, one has to still buy credits?
No – it means all experiments run on accounts belonging to members of that institution, which is usually verified by the email domain. If you fork/clone someone else’s experiment then you should credit them in any papers, but that is a different matter entirely.
