Hi Rachid, re: > when I try to download McIDAS software from the the website this message "You > don't have permission to access /downloads/mcidas/unix/2017/mcidasx2017.tar . > gz on this server" please I need help! urgently Unfortunately, our license to distribute McIDAS-X limits us to making it available to educational institutions. The only exception to this rule is we are allowed to let sites that are members in good standing with the UW/SSEC McIDAS User's Group have our distribution of McIDAS. Sites like yours should contact UW/SSEC MUG directly for access to McIDAS-X: address@hidden If your McIDAS-X installation was to be used by students in the pursuit of a degree, we might be able to make Unidata McIDAS-X available to you. I really wish that our situation did not preclude us from making Unidata McIDAS-X available to you!
