Notes
- The magic formula for quantity discounts is
|
N/(1 + (0.51 + 0.0029*N)*log10(N)) |
See the notes below on how to apply this formula.
- For all products except for the UNIX/Linux/OS X releases of
Xic and WRspice,
the formula above is applied directly to obtain the base quantity price as
BaseQuantityPrice = UnitPrice*formula(N)
where N is the quantity ordered.
- For UNIX/Linux/OS X releases of Xic and
WRspice, the situation is slightly more complicated.
The information in this bullet applies only to this case.
If each installation is an isolated, self-contained installation, the
method above should be used to compute quantity pricing, using the
program base list price.
If the programs are to be used in a network, where all machines can
access one machine designated as the license server, one installation
must be a full base installation, the "primary installation". The
remaining installations are "additional host licenses". In this
configuration, the primary installation provides license validation
service to all installations. The non-primary installations must have
network access to the primary installation, and the primary
installation host must be alive, for the programs to run.
To compute the base installation price, add the unit program base price
to the quantity price for N-1 "additional host licenses".
If the workgroup already has a base installation, only the addidional
host licenses need to be purchased.
Often, a second base installation is purchased for redundancy. If the
primary host goes down, the secondary host can be configured to provide
validation services.
The "additional host" licenses can be prepared for specific machines,
or prepared for an entire class B or C network. In the latter case,
the number of simultaneously running programs is limited to the number
of licenses purchased.
Please contact Whiteley Research if questions.

Leasing and Rental
The XicTools products are available with fixed-term licensing on a
per-month basis. After 24 monthly payments, ownership is transfered
to the customer and a permanent license is supplied. The remaining
payments can be advanced at any time to effect purchase.
Leasing is an effective way of deferring payment to future fiscal
periods, and may be attractive for short-term projects.

- Discounts do not apply to leasing rates.
- Apply the following formula to determine the monthly lease rate
for a workgroup. First, compute the base quantity price as above.
The monthly rate is
MonthlyRate = BaseQuantityPrice*1.08/24
- Full technical support and fast-track updates apply during the
term of the lease. Full technical support and fast-track updates
continue to one year after the customer acquires ownership.
- Leasing is not available for single-unit XicII, though
special payment options may be available. Contact Whiteley Research
for information.
