Site Licenses for Government

Site licensing is the cheapest and easiest way to make software available to everyone who needs or wants to use it. It's good for you because it simplifies the purchasing and installation process and saves time and money. It's good for us because it makes our product available on the largest number of computers. We try to make licensing easy for you, and affordable compared with other mission-critical software.

We recognize that there are an enormous number of different certification requirements and purchasing procedures for different government institutions. Please appreciate that we are a relatively young company, and probably have not worked with your particular system before. We're happy to work with you in finding a way to place our software on your desktops. (There is a form below from which you can request more information and a quote, or you can always email our sales department.)

How it works

Licensing Scheme:

	per-version, perpetual -- e.g., if you buy Version 1 of NoteWorthy, you can install and use it and all version 1.x updates in perpetuity on any computer in the licensed domain (e.g., a particular department or site, or your entire area of government. Upgrades to version 2 would require a new license unless the optional maintenance contract is also purchased (see below).
	entitles all authorized employees to use NoteWorthy at any site computer, and on their personal computer at home, and on any mobile computer that is their property or that of the agency.
	cross-platform -- includes both Windows and Mac licenses

Optional Maintenance Contract

	We send your designated contact person a CD or email with every update
	You are entitled to major upgrades that are issued during the term of your contract (e.g., version 1.x to version 2.0). This assures that you are promptly and seamlessly able to take advantage of the latest version of NoteWorthy.

License Distribution and Copy Protection

	NoteWorthy is normally distributed as Trialware which runs for 45 days on any given machine, after which the user is "locked out" until she enters a valid registration code. NoteWorthy uses a number of plug-in files, and so it cannot be pirated just be copying the application. We ENCOURAGE users to share the NoteWorthy trialware installer (but not their purchased registration codes!) with their friends.
	We will supply a unique registration code to be used for all installations at your facility, along with an installer for the software, and an archive of the files used and instructions for where these need to be placed if you are building your own installer.
	You can have your ITS personnel install software, install it on the "footprint" of a standard desktop, and allow users to install it themselves. However, you may not distribute to users an installer that will place an unlocked copy of NoteWorthy on their desktop without entry of a registration code; so if users install their own software, you must distribute copies of the site license registration code in a secure fashion.

Cost

Because there are so many dimensions along which purchasing institutions differ, it is not possible to give a simple list of site license prices on our website. We WANT you to site license our software, even though in the short run we might make more money with individual sales.
