[mod.computers.laser-printers] adobe software

schoff@RPICS.CSNET (Martin Schoffstall) (02/11/86)

since we are an educational institution with from 5 to 15 Laserwriters
all being driven from 4.2bsd unix machines (vaxes and suns) I am interested
in the ADOBE site-wide source for $2950.  The initial 3 machines will
be SUNS running 2.0 so does anyone have any feeling about the portability
of this software to them?????

thanks,

I've been given to understand that the site license applies to the
machines in a single building.  Is this a misapprehension on my part
or does Adobe has some reasonable response to this.  (I thought at
least a whole lan should be considered a site.)

In regard to the interpretation of "site" in Adobe's site-wide license,
I was told it includes all machines at one "geographical" site when
I called them a couple of months ago.  This apparently means one 
geographically contiguous campus.  (Argonne would require two such
licenses to cover its Illinois and Idaho facilities, but not one per
building, or one per LAN.)

I understood that a site meant an entire campus when I ordered one
for UC Berkeley. I then discovered that someone had ordered one for
LBL which is part of the Univ. of Calif. system  (and in Berkeley
too).
We were told that one license would have sufficed for both places.

	I guess this is the other extreme.

We are running the adobe software on SUNs running 2.0.  We have had no
problems other than the usual bugs which showed up on any machine.
