- Subject: VMS DECWINDOWS MOTIF
-
- THIS IS THE FINAL MESSAGE FROM DIGITAL ON VMS DECWINDOWS MOTIF AND THE TEI
- PROGRAMS.
-
- The VMS DECwindows Motif V1.1 commercial personal license is $265 for which
- education customers pay $132.50. Many of the education customers received V1.0
- at no charge. The update license to get to the new version if you are NOT
- under a service contract is $42 for which education customers pay $21. Digital
- is committed to the VMS DECwindows Motif product. The discussion in this
- conference has been disappointing for me when the assumption is that if we
- don't give it to you for free, we're difficult, we're not committed to
- standards, or products or this market.

- QUESTION: WHERE DOES RTNV COME FROM FOR EDUCATION CUSTOMERS?
-
- The CSLG Program gives you the license and rights to new versions for the
- products that are in Addendum A of your CSLG Agreement. Nothing more,
- nothing less.
-
- The Education Softare Library or a Software Support Service contract will
- give you the rights to new versions for the products that you have
- purchased commercial licenses for.
-
- Education customers may purchase commercial update licenses (QL-part
- numbers) for each system at a 50% grant each time a new version of the
- product is desired.
-
- QUESTION: WHAT ABOUT DECWINDOWS MOTIF LICENSES, RTNV AND SUPPORT?
-
- VMS DECwindows Motif is not in the CSLG and will not be in the CSLG. It is
- a royalty product. If you would like the product, you may purchase the
- commercial license (QL part number) at a 50% discount and may purchase the
- media and documentation kit (H-kit) through DECdirect at a 30% discount.
- Commercial licenses are not campuswide licenses so you will need to
- purchase one license for each system.
-
- When you purchase the product, you receive a Product Authorization Key
- (PAK) that is different than a CSLG PAK. You will NOT get a VMS DECwindows
- Motif PAK from the Education Software Library or any Software Support
- Service contract. The commercial license for DECwindows Motif allows you
- to run the product and it's new versions provided you are under a software
- support service contract (SSS or ESL).
-
- For example, if you are in the ESL, you have the rights to new versions and
- phone support for the system on which you have purchased commercial VMS
- DECwindows Motif licenses for ONLY!
-
- If you are not under a service contract, the commercial license for
- DECwindows Motif only gives you the rights to run the version of the
- product that you originally purchased.
-
- You will not receive PAKs from an SSS or an ESL contract. These contracts
- ONLY give you the rights to new version (RTNV) if you have purchased the
- commercial license. Technically, you could install a new version of Motif
- and your original Motif PAK will work. This is illegal.
-
- WHAT ABOUT THE MOTIF LICENSE DEAL?
-
- The VMS DECwindows Motif license offer expired in February 1992. If you
- applied for the license, you the license for VMS DECwindows V1.0 and media
- kit. You did not recieve any rights to new versions or any software
- support as part of that offer. If you were under a service contract (SSS
- or ESL) which was a prerequisite to apply for the offer, then you received
- the RTNV and software support from your service contract.
-
- IS MOTIF ON THE CONDIST?
-
- Yes.
-
- WHAT IS THE PRICING OF VMS DECWINDOWS MOTIF?
-
- Remember that education cusotmers get a 50% on QL part number licenses and
- a 30% grant through DECdirect on media and documentation kits. There is no
- education discount on any service offerings for education cutomers.
