The Kermit Project has contracted with e-academy.com in Ottawa to provide
automated Internet sale and delivery of Kermit 95, including a full-featured
time-limited trial version. The new service is available starting today:
http://www.e-academy.com/kermit
At first, the Try-and-Buy downloads and fully automated payment and delivery
are available only to people affiliated with universities. In the coming
weeks, this service will be expanded to the full marketplace.
While work is progressing on expanding the service, I'm announcing it only
here so academically-connected Kermit newsgroup readers can try it out and
make sure it's OK on all versions of Windows, all different PC hardware,
and so on. Note that:
. If you already have Kermit 95 installed on your PC, you won't be
able to use or test this service without first uninstalling.
. The K95 version that is delivered is the current one: 1.1.21.
. Both the secure and regular versions are available. The secure
version includes the new SSH v1/v2 client.
. Pending US export license, the secure version is available only
in the USA and Canada.
. Electronically delivered copies have no physical component --
no packaging, no shipping, no CDs. C-Kermit is not included, nor
is the C-Kermit manual. For this reason, electronically delivered
copies from e-academy are heavily discounted.
. The Try-and-Buy evaluation period is 21 days.
. Single copies and multiple copies can be purchased. Multiple copies
are discounted on a sliding scale.
. Academic site licenses are also available, including the new
"lifetime" license.
If you encounter any problems with this service -- and especially with the
Try-and-Buy version -- please report them by e-mail to:
kermit-support@columbia.edu
Thanks!
