Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Oct. 18, 2013)
For the purpose of encouraging the trial use and evaluation of the Southbeach Modelling, I started the "CrePS-SB Project" in Japan in June 2013 and it is now open to the users outside of Japan. For reducing the cost barrier for the trial of making models with the software tool, I have arranged, under the permission of the Southbeach Solution Co., to offer free '3-month Editor mode license' to any voluntary users who are willing to share their experiences. Please communicate with Toru Nakagawa following the instructions written below:
Instructions to the "3-month free Editor-mode license" of the Southbeach Modeller under the CrePS-SB Project

Go to the page for free downloading, and download the Southbeach Modeller 3.0
Install it with the installer wizard. (Windows 8, 7, vista, xp, and Mac and VMware)
In the Player mode, you can view a large number of example models in the library (and also any models your friends have made).
Features of the tool and many documents on the Southbeach project can be read freely without any registration.(2) If you want a '3-month free Editor-mode license' of the Southbeach Modeller, you should first make a contact with Toru Nakagawa.
