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, marty schoffstall

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.) -havfun -- Paul Graham 702/784-6007 University of Nevada Reno seismo!unrvax!pjg unrvax!pjg@seismo.CSS.GOV

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.) Jim Boyle

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 have had no problems other than the usual bugs which showed up on any machine.
