Software Licensing Overview

Software Licensing Overview
Each computer, whether used for designing experiments or running studies, will need the full version of the software installed. This can be done by one person one license at a time, or by a whole company purchasing unlimited use for everyone. We don't require any kind of subscription, maintenance, or support fees. Also, when you purchase licenses for MediaLab or DirectRT (e.g., v2006, v2008), you can use the version you purchase for as long as you like.  New versions come out every two years in the fall and you will always have the option to upgrade at a much discounted rate.

See Also: Pre-sales Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Basic License - Business Pricing

If you have your own lab and are looking to use MediaLab and/or DirectRT on a fixed number of machines, then a basic license may be more approriate than a site license (below). In cases where a smaller number of computers are involved, you can purchase a "basic license" for your lab and then pay a smaller fee for each additional computer on which you want to load the software. For example, say you have 9 computers (2 office, 2 control room, and 5 lab machines).  In such a case you could purchase a basic license and 8 additional licenses. You may add additional licenses at any time in the future and may move the licenses to other machines if the situation requires it. Licenses for home computers, laptops, or employees in your lab are also available at the lower "additional license" rate.

MediaLab v2008 New Upgrade*
Basic License $675 $375
Each Additional Computer $250 $200

DirectRT v2008 New Upgrade*
Basic License $675 $375
Each Additional Computer $250 $200

*Applies to users of all previous versions. If you purchased after 3/1/07 ask about additional upgrade discounts.


Small Business Site License - Business Pricing
A small business site-license allows you to access up to 25 licenses wherever you need them in your department. A small business site-license offers all of the benefits of a full organizational site-license (below) but is simply limited to 25 machines. One individual from your business should be identified as the licensee and primary support contact. Holders of a basic license with 10 or more machines will qualify for the upgrade rate.  Multiple basic license holders within a single business can merge their accounts for this purpose.

Package New Upgrade*
MediaLab v2008 $2500 $1500
DirectRT v2008 $2500 $1500
MediaLab and DirectRT $4500 $2500

*Applies to users of all previous versions. If you purchased after 3/1/07 ask about additional upgrade discounts.


Organizational Site License - Business Pricing

Organizational site licenses offer unlimited use of the software for everyone in your business. It's easier for our customers at large companies because we can offer IP-based authorization. Your company's IP patterns (e.g., 123.123.123.*) can be hard coded directly into the software--consequently, no special codes are required and anyone on your local network can just download and use the software on any machine. Multiple IP patterns and manual authorization codes can be accomodated. One individual from your group should be identified as the licensee and primary support contact. Holders of any site license or basic license with 20 or more machines will qualify for the upgrade rate.  Multiple basic license holders within a single business can merge their accounts for this purpose.

Package New Upgrade*
MediaLab v2008 $3500 $2500
DirectRT v2008

MediaLab and DirectRT

*Applies to users of all previous versions. If you purchased after 3/1/07 ask about additional upgrade discounts.


Multi-Site License - Business Pricing
A multi-site license offers unlimited use of the software for a business across multiple locations across the country or around the world. In situations where three or more cities would be involved, a multi-site unlimited use solution will be the most affordable. Details of the license are the same as for Organizational site liceses (see above). Multi-site licenses also qualify for IP-based software authorization. This means that everyone in your business who is at a pre-authorized location will be able to just download and use the software any time. Companies holding two or more organizational site licenses for earlier versions will qualify for the upgrade rate.

Package New Upgrade*
MediaLab v2008 $8750 $6250
DirectRT v2008
