I am having difficulty trying to obtain an educational site license for
MacX (for the MacOS). I was told by Apple Software Licensing that the MacX
product manager had decided that licensing would be handled by dealers and
not ASL. I was told that I would also have to buy a single copy of the
software as the site license did not include media or manuals. (By the
way, she used the term "right to copy"; not "site license"). I was given
the following product numbers:
M0108LL/A MacX
M0747LL/A Site License
One dealer (Falcon Microsystems) says, however, that M0747 is the site
license for "X Window System for A/UX" (which, I understand, includes
"MacX for A/UX"). My Apple Federal Account Exec says that there is no site
license for MacX.
1) If, in fact, there is a site license for MacX (for the MacOS), what is
its:
a) product number?
b) price? (we are a university consortia funded by the Nat. Science
Foundation)
c) do I still have to buy the single copy (M0108) or is media and
manuals included?
2) If there is no site license for MacX alone, do I buy the site license
for "X Window System for A/UX" (M0747) instead? Then must I buy "X Window
System for A/UX" (M0411LL/A) to get media/manuals (and hope that "MacX for
A/UX" will run with the MacOS), or do I buy "MacX for the MacOS" (M0108).
I would appreciate hearing from someone who has obtained an educational
site license for MacX.
