Licences and cost

• Single copy price alloiw you to use the software and e-text on one computer and to make one printed copy of the e-text document version

• Site licence allows you to software and e-text on any number of computers on the one school site, including networks, and to print copies for students; this is a permanent licence and it entitles the school to significant discounts on subsequent upgrades

• Site-and-student licence is required if you wish to allow students to use the material on their home computers, whether by intranet connection or by distribution of copies.

• The cost of site-and-student licence can be calculated to best suit your school and/or student numbers-

1. double the site licence price gives you permanent right to site-and-student licence

2. one site licence price + $20 per student per year gives you permanent right to site licence for school use but requires payment for student home users each year

Prices, including GST, fixed until mid-2005
