III. KERMIT 95 BULK RIGHT-TO-COPY LICENSES

Minimum quantity: 100.
Minimum extension: 100.

The licensee is entitled to make the licensed number of copies of the software for internal use.

A bulk right-to-copy license includes one shrink-wrapped package containing a preregistered copy of the software and one user guide and one technical manual. In addition, the user guide (but not the technical manual) is also included on the diskette in Windows Help, HTML, or other suitable format. Like the software itself, this is a copyrighted published work protected by law, and may not be redistributed without a license to do so.

All users within the licensed organization share the same registration and serial number. The license covers employees (and in the case of academic institutions, also students) of the licensed organization, including contractors during the period of their contract. The Discount column shows the discount against the single-copy retail street price of $54.

                            Unit
    Quantity    Discount   Price

    100-249      81.48%	   10.00
    250-499      84.26%	    8.50
    500-999      86.67%     7.20

   5000-9999     92.59%	    4.00
  10000-19999    93.89%	    3.30
  20000-39999    94.35%	    3.05

Any number of copies may be purchased by paying the unit price per copy appropriate to the range, and Windows 95, Windows NT, and OS/2 copies may be mixed and matched within the given discount range.

"Site" or "unlimited" licenses are available only to academic institutions (see Section IV). To achieve freedom from copy counting and license administration, simply purchase sufficient licenses to cover the maximum expected number of users.

The licensee must assume responsibility of preventing all manner of external access to the software, including, but not limited to, unauthorized redistribution of the software in any form by employees, or placing of the software on file servers, ftp servers, or Web pages that are accessible from outside the licensed organization.

III.C. LICENSE UPGRADES

III.D. MAINTENANCE

The licensed organization must provide technical support to its users, and may, in turn, obtain technical support from Columbia University through a designated single point of contact at no additional charge.

If support lapses, and the licensee wishes to renew it, this may be done by:

• purchasing a new license of the desired size, or:
• paying the maintenance fees for all years for which they were not paid, including the current year.

III.E. SERVER LICENSES

IV. ACADEMIC SITE LICENSES

Kermit 95 academic site licenses are available at the rates listed below. An academic site license entitles all students, faculty, and staff at the licensed institution to individual, non-transferable use of Kermit 95, with no copy counting required, as long as they are students at or employed by the institution. End-user technical support must be furnished by the institution. Technical support to the instition is furnished through a single technical point of contact with the Kermit project at Columbia University.

For any single college or university:

  First year:       $  2,000
  Subsequent years: $  1,000

For a large university system, such as a statewide system (e.g. all of SUNY):

  First year:       $ 10,000
  Subsequent years: $  5,000

Plus shipping.

Multiple Platforms: The Windows 95 and NT versions are covered by the same license, even for Windows NT on non-Intel platforms. However, the OS/2 version must be licensed separately. Sites that wish to license both the Windows and OS/2 versions may take a 50% discount on the second license and maintenance. Thus for a single college or university and OS/2-and-Windows license would cost $3,000 USD and annual maintenance would be $1,500, and for a large university system, the fees would be $15,000 USD and $7,500, respectively. Institutions that already have a Windows license can add an OS/2 license for half price.

All prices are in US dollars and apply worldwide. Rates are subject to adjustment. Prior Kermit 95 purchases -- shrink-wrap or bulk -- are not creditable towards the academic site license.

An active license entitles the institution to continuing technical support and to software upgrades.

An academic site license includes a single copy of the shrink-wrapped software package preregistered for the institution, to be distributed by the institution, plus one hundred Kermit 95 user manuals and five technical reference manuals (five hundred / twenty five for university systems).

Additional copies of the user manual and technical manual may be ordered in any quantity by academic site licensees at the following discounted rates:

                    Title               Retail      Discounted
                    ------------------------------------------
  User manual       "Kermit 95"         $ 14.95     $ 11.96
  Technical manual  "Using C-Kermit"(*)   39.95       34.55

(*) Note: steeper discounts are available for "Using C-Kermit" in quantities of 250 or higher. See our standard discount schedule for rates.

Manuals may be resold through institutional channels such as university book stores or otherwise distributed internally.

The institution must assume responsibility for preventing all manner of external access to the software, including, but not limited to, redistribution of the software in any form outside of the institution by students, faculty, or staff, or placing of the software on file servers, ftp servers, or Web pages that are accessible from outside the institution.
