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