Geroge/Frank,
I have been tasked with providing a quick response to a query regarding
site licensing of software. I haven't been following this too closely of late.
Would appreciate any off-the-top-of-your-head comments on current status.
On my last look, most software vendors (despite enormous pressure from
business users) were well-contented with status quo and reluctant to offer site
licenses. The few I read about seemed to be only token gestures
(astronomically priced). Has anything changed?
1. Any typical examples spring to mind (product, license cost, copy limit)?
2. Does one license generally provide for multiple formats (e.g., NorthStar,
Apple, Z-100, Wyse PC, Z-248)?
3. Are patches or upgrades included or even provided for?
Any quick thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Gene
