*************************************************************************
***************
* List prices *
***************
Indefinite licenses for unlimited use (all prices are one-time charges):
Corporate Academic
--------- --------
LISTSERV-TCP/IP for VM, V1.8a $7,150.00 $5,720.00
LMail(TM) for VM, V1.2a $3,009.00 $2,400.00
Both products $8,982.00 $7,185.00
Yearly support charges:
Category II
-----------
LISTSERV-TCP/IP for VM, V1.8a $3,500.00 -> 3500 migration points
LMail(TM) for VM, V1.2a $1,350.00
Both products $3,325.00 -> 2500 migration points
Category II support includes new versions, fixes, and technical support
(e-mail, FAX or phone). The prices quoted above assume fixes can be
delivered electronically; otherwise, we will bill you for media, handling
and shipment when you order fixes from L-Soft support.
L-Soft reserves the right to remove support for the use of FAL's SMTP as
a mailer for LISTSERV-TCP/IP, as this combination creates a number of
serious technical problems. When using XMAILER, only R2.10 and higher are
supported.
*************************************************************************
******************** Reduced prices for CREN members ********************
*************************************************************************
On March 12, 1994, CREN and L-Soft signed a "Master license and support
agreement" through which CREN members became eligible to receive
maintenance for LISTSERV-NJE for VM and LMail(TM) for VM at reduced
rates, with the bulk of the support being provided by a "CREN helpdesk"
operated at CREN's expense. On March 18, 1994, CREN announced the
purchase of a competing list manager, and its intent to turn it into a
product that would be made available to CREN members and sold to
non-members. CREN did not inform L-Soft of its intent to become a direct
competitor until after the agreement was signed.
This CREN/L-Soft agreement is thus a "legacy" contract, much like the
agreement between IBM(R) and Microsoft(R) concerning access to Windows(R)
sources. In order to protect its customers' interests, L-Soft is now
offering to provide the beneficiaries of the CREN/L-Soft contract with
the same services at the same prices. Purchasing support directly from
the company whose bottom line depends on your satisfaction with LISTSERV
and LMail(TM) gives you the assurance of receiving the best service there
is.
The conditions of the offer are very simple:
If you are a beneficiary of the "Master license and support agreement"
signed by CREN and L-Soft on May 12, 1994, then you can purchase,
directly from L-Soft and at the same price, any service you would be
able to procure from CREN through this contract. To benefit from this
offer, you must place your order directly with L-Soft, and pay the
corresponding charges to L-Soft, rather than CREN. You do not need to
terminate your CREN membership to benefit from this offer.
Since we do not expect you to read 30 pages of legalese to find out
whether or not you are eligible and how much you will have to pay, we are
enclosing a summary of the conditions. But since it is impossible to turn
30 pages of legalese into 20 lines of English without loss of
information, the version that is legally binding is the one above; this
summary is for your information only.
- You are eligible if you are a CREN member and you are running
LISTSERV-NJE for VM, LMail(TM) for VM, or both.
- LISTSERV-TCP/IP is not covered by the agreement and thus not eligible.
- You can purchase "Category II" maintenance from July 1, 1994 to June
30, 1995 at the following rates:
LISTSERV-NJE for VM $1,250.00
LMail(TM) for VM $675.00
Both products $1,662.50
- There is no hard deadline for placing your order. However, the prices
and maintenance period will be as set in the contract (July 1, 1994
through June 30, 1995), regardless of when we receive your PO.
- If you have not done so already, you will have to sign our maintenance
agreement. However, you may now remove all the clauses inserted by CREN
on the Exhibit, including the reference to the "Master agreement" and
the statement that it takes precedence. You can obtain a fresh copy
from SALES@LSOFT.COM.
You will also earn "migration points" as follows:
LISTSERV-NJE for VM 1250
LMail(TM) for VM -
Both products 1250
Note that you only earn migration points when you purchase support
directly from L-Soft. Similarly, you can only use your migration points
on services ordered directly from L-Soft.
*************************************************************************
**************************** Package offers *****************************
*************************************************************************
Package offers are heavily discounted combinations of L-Soft products,
usually with a hard deadline for placing your order. Because package
offers already include all applicable discounts, they are not cumulative
with other promotional offers. In particular, while a package can earn
you "migration points" that can be spent on maintenance for other L-Soft
products, you cannot use your migration points to further lower the price
of a package.
*************************************************************************

*************************************************************************
To account for the reduced support rates to CREN members, we are lowering
the price of our "$9,000 package" for LISTSERV-TCP/IP. This new package
is only available to the beneficiaries of the CREN/L-Soft agreement. We
have also extended the deadline, as many customers pointed out that their
fiscal year ends on July 1st, and they are not in a position to place any
order before then. Note that, because the additional discount is due to a
reduction in support rates, this package also provides less migration
points.
