there is a software named "Gatecycle" by GE. It has the database of almost 20 brands of gas turbines. Try it, as it's trial is available on GE's official site.

Onyx, if i remember correctly, our company placed a request at their website for demo version. thats how we get that demo. i can share it but i am not sure if there would be any copyright issues, even with trail version. you can visit their website at http://www.gepower.com/prod_serv/produc ... ecycle.htm and request for demo.

yeap, i have found that document along trail version. it says that after installing you have to email them you machine ID. they will send back some 30 days working license codes based on that particular ID.
