What is a site license? A site license is an inexpensive way for
more than one person to legally use one copy of a program on more
than one computer at a time. Site licenses are designed for
companies, offices or workgroups where more than one person in
the organization needs to use a product, but does not need
additional manuals or disks. Site licensing enables companies,
departments, government agencies, etc., to equip their personnel
with the tools they need at a minimal cost.
Here's the gist of how it works: The company purchasing a site
license (the licensee) provides a single point of contact for
shipping, technical support, upgrades, etc., and we (the
licensor) provide a "golden master" of the diskettes, manual, and
any other parts of the package.
There are different interpretations of the term "site license."
The legal definitions and explainations can be found in the
"End User Site License Agreement" on the following pages; however,
in lay-man's terms, for the purpose of this documentation, a site
license is a volume discount on multiple copies of the software
package.
Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. will provide a volume discount
of a full 25% for customers wishing to license between ten (10)
and forty-nine (49) copies ("sites") of BLANK-IT(tm) Version 5.1a,
and a full 33% discount for customers wishing to license fifty (50)
or more copies. At 1/3 off, this is a tremendous savings!
If your company needs 100+ copies, please contact us for a special
pricing -- we are very flexible and will work to reach a solution
that works for you, with even greater savings!
Throughout this documentation, the term "BLANK-IT" refers
to the BLANK-IT(tm) Version 5.1a software package. BLANK-IT
is a trademark of Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc.
