ICDD >  ICDD Products > Product Pricing and Policies 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 verifying 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+ and PDF-4/Organics. 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 is offering 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’s Customer Service Department 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. Since ICDD’s support software (ICDD SUITE 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 supplier annually to confirm software compatibility when purchasing a multiyear license. Site License Policy ICDD offers site licensing and pricing that allows for multiple copies of the PDF-2 or PDF-4 databases to be licensed at a single site with attractive pricing. A single site is defined by the building where the database will be installed. 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 copies of the database. The number of copies is determined by the number of computers that will be running the database. An additional site license is required after the 10th copy of the database. A site license includes the purchase of a Master License plus the purchase of Secondary Licenses (additional copies—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. ICDD’s Site License Policy is designed for a multiuser laboratory. Site License Renewals In order to take advantage of the site license renewal pricing, 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 combo site license that allows for multiple copies of both the PDF-2 and PDF-4 product licenses 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 both the PDF-4 and PDF-2 database. 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. Please contact the ICDD's Customer Service Department for further information. Product 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 distributor to determine your data analysis software requirements. ICDD products (PDF-2, PDF-4+, PDF-4/Minerals, PDF-4/Organics, DDView, 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. It is recommended that this be done within the first 30 days of the temporary license period. When ICDD receives the registration information, we will create a registration key for the full license and send it 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. Please contact the ICDD's Customer Service Department for further information.
