The GICHD strongly encourages the widest possible distribution of IMSMA from each of the national operating IMSMA installations to government agencies, international organisations, NGOs and field operators engaged in mine action or other humanitarian activities involving mines and other ERW. A distribution plan centred on the national authorities helps to

- support national authorities in their extension processes of IMSMA services
- provide support and services to the system tailored to the local needs
- set up and administer national distribution points
- manage and record system installations
Limitations
Potential and current users of the System should be aware that IMSMA is a licensed, trademarked and copyrighted product of the GICHD and is not freeware or shareware. Installation or use of the software constitutes acceptance of the licence agreement. Copies of the system not obtained from the GICHD or through one of its distribution partners will not be supported by the GICHD and are a violation of international copyright. The software contains certain components of ArcEngine, commercially available of US origin, and generously donated by ESRI. Distribution of these components is subject to US laws governing technology exports and licensing. Requests received by IMSMA’s local distribution partners or the GICHD for the distribution or use of the IMSMA software will need to demonstrate compliance with these regulations before installation of the software can begin. Distribution or use of the system may also be restricted in the case of projects conducted on a commercial basis or in conjunction with for profit ventures. This restriction is the result of the Centre’s use of public funds in the development and testing of the system.
