ETAP is not just a drawing tool; it is a calculation engine.

Operation Technology, Inc. (OTI) does not offer a permanent free version of ETAP 22. Here’s what they do offer:

Any website claiming “ETAP 22 full version free download” is either lying or distributing pirated software. OTI actively pursues legal action against piracy, and many such downloads contain Trojans or keyloggers.

It is important to clarify that ETAP is proprietary, commercial software. It is developed by ETAP (a Schneider Electric company) and carries a significant licensing fee, often costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars depending on the modules purchased.

There is no legal "full version" of ETAP 22 available for free to the general public.

When you search for "ETAP 22 free download," you will typically encounter three scenarios:

A: Sometimes. Contact OTI sales directly and ask for a “starter license” or “rental license” (monthly subscription). As of 2025, they have introduced more flexible cloud-based pricing.

ETAP offers a time-limited trial version (typically 30 days) with full features for evaluation. This is the only safe and legal way to use ETAP for free temporarily.

Pirated versions cannot connect to OTI’s update servers. You’ll miss critical bug fixes, library updates (e.g., new protective relay models), and security patches.
