Table 1. Description and pricing of different HYDRUS levels for Single License.

 

Note: Due to the relative value of a U.S. Dollar, the Europe-based developer has decided to start pricing the software in Euros starting October 1, 2007. Below you will find the base prices in Euros, as well as an approximate conversion to US$ (1€≈1.4$). We apologize if this causes any inconvenience and we will be able to provide the exact cost upon ordering.

Site License

Site License allows you to buy multiple HYDRUS licenses for a bargain price. All site licenses (except option D) are priced at double the price of a single license but if you calculate the final price of one license you will see that the price is only 50% (or less) of the regular price. There are four options for site licenses:

  1. Network License - 20 computers. HYDRUS is installed on a shared network drive and all computers that have access to this drive can run HYDRUS. The license is "floating", i.e. HYDRUS can be installed on more than 20 computers but only 20 clients can run HYDRUS at the same time. Two activations are necessary (server and one client)

  2. Independent Licenses - 8 computers. This option enables HYDRUS activation on 8 computers, no matter whether they are connected to a network or not. Eight activations are necessary (one for each computer).

  3. Combined License - 4 independent computers + 10 network clients. This license is a combination of option A/ and B/ with reduced number of licenses. Six activations are necessary (four for independent computers and two for a network (one for a server and one for a client)).

  4. Individual Site License - as license C but with a number of activated computers and price negotiated individually
