Licensing Information
The license for the Ruaumoko program suite is covered
by a once-only
license fee. Upgrades are automatically sent out as they
become available, approximately every 18 months. The initial upgrade
will be free of charge with future upgrades being available at a
cost of NZ$350 for each upgrade (NZ purchasers add 15% GST). The
programs are sent on a CD-ROM. The programs
are not tranferable and are not to be distributed outside the licensed
organization.
The programs are supplied for all Microsoft Windows
operating systems (including Windows95, Windows98, WindowsNT, Windows2000,
WindowsXP, WindowsVista and Windows7).
Though we have run the programs for over 12 years under a UNIX system,
at the present time, because of difficulties with the requirement of
the GKS graphics system having to be installed
before the graphics will work we cannot supply
versions for the UNIX workstation environment. Work is taking place
in developing interfaces for OpenGL graphics that would enable the
use of a common graphics system on UNIX workstations as well as
on the Intel personal computers. Source code for
the programs or supporting libraries is
not supplied.
Price
Universities and Other Academic
Institutions
A fee of NZ$2500.00 for unlimited research
and teaching use within the educational institution. No consultancy
type work may be
undertaken under the terms of this type of license.
Consulting Practices, Research Organizations, etc.
A fee of NZ$6750.00 for unlimited research
and consulting use within the organization.
Please note that the manuals are included as Adobe Acrobat files
with the CD-ROM so that copies may be printed locally if required.
Note: All prices are
in New Zealand dollars, and NZ purchasers will need to add 15%
Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Demo Version
If desired, a free trial version of the programs can be forwarded
for evaluation. These are standard versions of Ruaumoko with a reduced
amount of memory allocated and the programs will only run for approximately
3 months.
For universities and other teaching institutions a student
version can also be supplied which will only work for a limited period of
time such as a semester or academic year. This has been popular where
it is desired to make the program readily available to students without
the worry of un-authorized copying of the programs. This student
version would require replacing every year or semester etc. but this
can be done without too much trouble.
Ordering
To order contact Professor Athol J. Carr by

the CD-ROM and manuals.
