Boxer Text Editor - Multi-User License Information
Please Note: the price of a multi-user license is auto-computed
at our online store based on the value entered in the quantity box there. Licenses are
available in all sizes; not simply the sizes listed below. The Help|Order Boxer dialog
can also be used to check pricing.
A Multi-User License provides an inexpensive way for businesses,
schools, universities or other work groups to supply their personnel
with computer software in both a legal and cost-efficient manner. By
licensing Boxer for use on multiple computers you can standardize on a
single editing tool that will serve the needs of all people within the
group. In so doing, support and maintenance costs can be reduced, and
users can benefit from having ready access to others who are using the
same software. Multi-user licensing is also more economical than making
individual purchases, because there is no need for us to supply extra
disks, reference literature, etc. for all users within the group.
The organization purchasing the license designates a single
individual to be the contact for shipping, technical support, upgrades,
etc. We provide a single copy of the software package. You are then
allowed to install Boxer onto as many CPUs as have been licensed.
The following chart details the cost of various Multi-User Licenses
based on the number of CPUs. For example, if you purchase a license for
20 CPUs your cost would be $425.40, which saves you 63.9% ($754.60)
versus the cost of 20 individual purchases. The more copies licensed,
the greater the percentage savings.
Note: Boxer Software's site licensing policy is based on
'individual use,' not 'concurrent use.' When determining the number of
licenses required, the computation should be made according to the
number of CPUs on which Boxer will be installed or used, and not
according to the maximum theoretical concurrent use that might occur.
(An exception to this policy is made for individual, non-commercial
users who may wish to install Boxer onto multiple CPUs which are owned
by them, and of which they are the sole user.) Also, please note that
the installation of Boxer onto a network server which is accessible by
many users does not constitute use on a single CPU: the license quantity
must be determined by the number of workstations that will use the
software.
Number License Discount
of CPUs Price Percentage
-----------------------------------------------
2 $100.30 15.0%
3 138.00 22.0
4 169.90 28.0
5 197.90 32.9
10 276.70 53.1
15 352.90 60.1
20 425.40 63.9
25 494.80 66.5
50 814.40 72.3
100 1383.60 76.5
If you later wish to add additional CPUs to the license, you can
build upon the number of copies already licensed to achieve a better
price. For example, the cost to grow a 20-CPU license to 25 CPUs is
$69.40, which is the difference in cost between a 25-CPU and a 20-CPU
license (494.80 - 425.40). In this way your license can be grown
economically, as your needs change.
When it's time to upgrade to a new version of Boxer, the savings
continue. The unit cost of a software upgrade will always be
significantly reduced to our existing customers. Multi-User License
upgrades are even further discounted by applying the original discount
earned to the unit price of the upgrade, and then multiplying by the
number of licensed CPUs. For example, if the unit price of an upgrade
is $24.00, the price to upgrade a 10-CPU license would be: (100% -
53.1%) x $24 x 10 = $112.56.
The order form within Boxer will automatically compute Multi-User
License pricing for quantities not shown in the chart above. That form
can be found by selecting Order Boxer from the Help menu. If you
have additional questions, or need pricing for more than 100 CPUs, please
contact us.
