Welcome to the home page of the WGS 84 web site commissioned by EUROCONTROL, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation.

Important Announcement

Mileridge is contracted by EUROCONTROL to provide certain maintenance and support services to DQTS and is granted the right to sub-licence DQTS to end-users.  

EUROCONTROL, due to budgetary restrictions and having to prioritize its projects, is no longer in a position to continue DQTS Support. This means that any support of the tool will cease with effect from 31 May 2010.

Following 31 May 2010, licence holders will be entitled to continue to use DQTS for an indefinite period, in accordance with the licence agreement in place and subject to the following:

a)      Neither Mileridge, EUROCONTROL nor any third party will provide any support or maintenance support services;

b)      Neither Mileridge nor EUROCONTROL will give any warranties or guarantees;

c)       DQTS is used on a strictly “as is” basis;

d)      DQTS may not, under any circumstances, be used for any safety critical decisions;

e)      DQTS may not be further sublicensed or made available to third parties.

Before support is terminated, it is intended that one further DQTS version is released which fixes some minor issues which have been identified with version 4.05. However, no further enhancements will be made after this release.

Licence holders have received a letter containing this information. A copy should be signed and returned to the Help Desk by 31st May 2010. If the letter is not received by the Help Desk, the licence shall be deemed terminated and the licence holder shall refrain from any further use of DQTS.

If a licence holder has not yet activated his/her licence, it is recommended that they contact the Help Desk (helpdesk@dqts.net) to do so and to allow the maximum amount of time to consult the Help Desk support, should this be required.

For those interested, DQTS may be obtained until 31st May 2010 and the above conditions apply. For more information, please contact the Help Desk (helpdesk@dqts.net).
