Does anyone know if NeXT plans to offer a right-to-use license/upgrade *without* the CD for less money than buying 3.0 on CD? This would benefit sites with more than one machine, and folks with personal machines and access to a CD-drive and CD at work. If so, does anyone know the list price?

NeXT offers a license only version of 3.0 for the same price as with the CD-ROM. However, academic customers can buy multiple licenses with fewer CD-ROMs at a considerable discount. Contact your campus reseller for more information. M Carling Director, Bay Area NeXT Group -- Bill Clinton lied to his wife. How can his country trust him? George Bush lied to his country.

The cost of duplicating and distributing a CD-ROM are so low (they come "free" in periodicals now) that I can't imagine that it would significantly affect the upgrade cost anyway. Seems $295 isn't a bad price for the license itself.

NeXT offers a right to use license. N5531 Software Release 3.0 Upgrade Right-To-Use License, No Media (Available Summer 92) License ONLY - includes NO software. Permits the owner of Software Release 3.0 Upgrade on CD-ROM to upgrade ONE additional system using a previously (or concurrently) purchased N5527. One N5531 must be purchased for EACH system to be upgraded. So, in short yes it is provided, but the cost is the same. Remember that in quantity, the CD-ROM doesn't cost more than a dollar to produce. Higher Educational discounts apply.

That's because the $295 price is for upgrades for previous owners of NeXTSTEP 2.0. When you buy a NeXT machine, you are paying for a license for the software automatically. -- David Lemson (217) 244-1205 University of Illinois NeXT Campus Consultant / CCSO NeXT Lab System Admin Internet : lemson@uiuc.edu UUCP :...!uiucuxc!uiucux1!lemson NeXTMail accepted BITNET : LEMSON@UIUCVMD
