Hi Brandon, re: > I'm with UW-Whitewater and we are looking to get 5 installs of IDV. > Does every user need to create their own account with you guys or > can we assign them all from the same account. Each user does _not_ need to create an account with the Unidata website ** unless ** they plan on installing the IDV by themselves on their own machines. The typical way that a department handles software installations for most of the packages we support is that one person in the department (the departmental IT person?) registers with the Unidata website and then s/he downloads and installs the software. re: > Also it appears this is freeware, is that correct. Correct. All software available from Unidata is free. Most of the packages are copyrighted, but they are indeed free.
