No, you do not. The conda program and almost all publicly accessible conda channels are free for use by everyone. An Anaconda licence is only required for
- The Anaconda Distribution - we don't use this, instead we create our own installer for the miniconda distribution, the CSD Python API itself and some dependencies and other useful packages from the conda-forge repository
- The default channel - we are very careful only to pull packages from our own repository and the free conda-forge repository
If you are installing the CSD Python API into your own Python environment then we recommend using a miniforge installer to ensure that no packages are pulled from the default channel.
