Hi Davida, re: > I am writing on behalf of our colleagues in a university in Thailand. > They would like to purchase a single McIDAS license and were wondering > what it would cost. As mentioned in Rick Kohr's reply to you, the university in Thailand would be allowed access to Unidata McIDAS (a superset of SSEC's McIDAS distribution). Our distribution is available free of charge for educational institutions worldwide. The only thing that your contact at the university needs to do is register with the Unidata web portal. This can be done online by visiting our HomePage and clicking on the 'Login' link: Unidata HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu After registration, an email needs to be sent to Unidata User Support <address@hidden> requesting that the email address of the user who registered with the portal be added to an 'exceptions list' for McIDAS access (we immediately grant access to users whose email address include '.edu' which indicates that they are from a US educational institution0. We will inform the user that s/he has been approved for Unidata McIDAS-X download after updating our exceptions list. > Thanks No worries.
