Academic Pricing
An academic price is awarded to degree-granting (Assoc., B.S., M.S., Ph.D.) institutions. The name of the institution must appear on the degree in order to qualify for the academic pricing. Institutions may be required to submit documentation to verify eligibility. Please consult ICDD's price list for eligible products.

Multiyear License Renewal
ICDD offers multiyear license renewal pricing that provides savings on yearly license renewals, along with fixed pricing on the renewal for the purchased license term. Multiyear pricing is available for PDF-2, PDF-4+, WebPDF-4+, PDF-4/Organics, SIeve and SIeve+. If the price for these products increases during your multiyear license period, you will not be billed the difference.

In response to customer requests, ICDD offers multiyear license renewal pricing for PDF-4/Minerals. The multiyear license is offered as a convenience to our customers and is not subject to the discount offered with our other multiyear licenses. Please contact ICDD for further information.

To purchase a multiyear license, users need to purchase the current release of the PDF new, or renew their license to the present release using the current prices. Users may then purchase additional years for their license. All shipping charges will be billed on the original invoice. The multiyear license is serviced by subscription with yearly automatic renewals based on the anniversary of the original invoice date for both the PDF-2 and PDF-4 databases. For each year in your multiyear license, you will receive the newest release of your PDF product. You will need to install and register your new product for each release.

Since ICDD's search-indexing software (SIeve and SIeve+) is linked to the PDF-2 and PDF-4 release year, customers utilizing this software are encouraged to purchase a multiyear license for the software along with their multiyear license for the database.

Check with your software vendor annually to confirm software compatibility when purchasing a multiyear license.

Site License Policy
ICDD's Site License Policy is designed for a multiuser laboratory to facilitate multiple licenses of the PDF-2 or PDF-4+ databases at a single site. This policy offers discounted pricing on the additional licenses. Site licenses for PDF-4/Organics cannot be combined with PDF-2 or PDF-4+ databases. A single site is defined by the building where the database will be installed. A single site may have more than one site license. Multiple users in different sites (separate buildings) need to purchase separate site licenses for each building. Each site license allows for a maximum of 10 licenses of the database. The number of licenses is determined by the number of computers that will be running the database. An additional site license is required after the 10th license of the database. A site license includes the purchase of a Master License, plus the purchase of Secondary Licenses (additional licenses—2nd to 10th). ICDD requires that the Master License and all Secondary Licenses be purchased concurrently on a single purchase order. ICDD does not offer licensing for local servers
or networks.

Site License Renewals
In order to take advantage of the site license renewal pricing on additional licenses, both the Master License and the Secondary Licenses of the database must be renewed yearly. To renew a site license, ICDD requires that the Master License and all Secondary Licenses be purchased concurrently on a single purchase order.

Combo Site License Subscription
ICDD offers a combination site license that allows for multiple licenses of the PDF-2 and PDF-4+ database at a single site. The combo site license is serviced by subscription with yearly automatic renewals based on the anniversary of the original invoice date for the PDF-2 and PDF-4+ databases. ICDD will automatically bill and ship renewal licensed products as specified in ICDD's then current price list.

Multiyear Site License
In response to customer requests, ICDD offers multiyear site licenses. The multiyear site license is offered as a convenience to our customers using site license pricing. This license is serviced by subscription and is available for a PDF-2 site, a PDF-4+ site and a combo PDF-2/PDF-4+ site. Multiyear site licenses for PDF-4/Organics cannot be combined with PDF-2 or PDF-4+ databases. Please contact the ICDD's Customer Service Department for further information.

Installation and Registration

ICDD databases require registration to comply with the legal requirements of our collaborative agreements. When renewing your PDF license, ICDD recommends that you contact ICDD or your software vendor to determine your data analysis software requirements.

ICDD products (PDF-2, PDF-4+, PDF-4/Minerals, PDF-4/Organics, SIeve and SIeve+) are automatically activated for a temporary license period (30 days) with the initial installation. Users are required to register their database and/or software in order to obtain a full license from ICDD to extend beyond 30 days. The integrated registration software will guide users through the registration process. The registration information may then be sent to ICDD by the web (preferred), e-mail, fax or mail. When ICDD receives the registration information, a registration key for the full license will be created and sent to the user. A registration key will be issued within 48 hours (Monday through Friday) of receipt of the registration information. If you have not heard from us within 48 hours, kindly fax us your registration (610.325.9823) noting that it is a second request or call us at 610.325.9814.
