[McIDAS #JSQ-723905]: New Account does not have download access rights?

Unidata is licensed by UW/SSEC (the owner's and primary developers
of McIDAS) to distribute our version of McIDAS, Unidata McIDAS-X/-XCD
to educational institutions.  All others (e.g., NASA, NOAA, EPA, private
businesses, etc.) must contact the McIDAS Users Group (MUG) at UW/SSEC
directly to get licensed for McIDAS use.  Upon joining the MUG at
UW/SSEC, and for as long as a site is a member of good standing in the
MUG, sites that would otherwise not be allowed access to Unidata McIDAS
can download the code from us.  This can be useful as Unidata McIDAS
is a superset of the distribution from SSEC.

The contact information you will need at UW/SSEC for McIDAS
licensing is:

McIDAS Users Group <address@hidden>

For your convenience, I have CCed the MUG folks on this reply.

> Thanks

I am sorry that we could not be of more immediate help.

Cheers,

Tom
