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, v2010), 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.

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 v2010	New	Upgrade*
Basic License	$675	$375
Each Additional Computer	$250	$200

DirectRT v2010	New	Upgrade*
Basic License	$675	$375
Each Additional Computer	$250	$200

*Applies to users of all previous versions.

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 v2010	$5000	$3500
DirectRT v2010	$5000	$3500
MediaLab and DirectRT	$8500	$5500

*Applies to users of all previous versions.

Notes:

• Note that we are not keyboard resellers. We charge only for the modification of keyboards such that they can reliably get keystroke data to your computer in under 1 millisecond. Consequently, 100% of the cost of the DirectIN PCB v2010 Keyboard is for the installation of Empirisoft's proprietary DirectIN Printed Circuit Board (PCB) . The origional keyboards we will modify are provided to you at no additional charge.
• Keyboards should operate properly on all computers when connected via USB1 or USB2 on Microsoft Windows (all versions) or Mac Operating System (v10.4 or later).
• Keyboards should work properly with virtually all software as they will appear to the computer as regular keyboards. 
• Please allow up to 2-3 weeks for delivery, especially for large orders.
• Keyboards typically ship via UPS ground. An estimated shipping cost will be added to the invoice.
• Academic and non-profit institutions are typically tax-exempt
• Payment for hardware needs to be received before we can assemble and ship the units.
• DirectIN PCB v2010 Keyboards come with a full one year parts and service warranty.
  

For our customers outside the USA:

As much as it sounds like fun, we do not keep up on international tax laws and customs policies for individual countries outside the USA. If you are ordering our hardware from another country, we strongly advise you to ask your local postal service and/or UPS about additional taxes (e.g., VAT), customs fees, and delivery delays to which you may be subject. It's rare but we have heard of VAT taxes (e.g., 16% in Spain) and customs delays (e.g., up to 2 weeks in Israel)  that had not been expected by the customer.
