Subject: VMS DECWINDOWS MOTIF

THIS IS THE FINAL MESSAGE FROM DIGITAL ON VMS DECWINDOWS MOTIF AND THE TEI
PROGRAMS.

The VMS DECwindows Motif V1.1 commercial personal license is $265 for which
education customers pay $132.50.  Many of the education customers received V1.0
at no charge.  The update license to get to the new version if you are NOT
under a service contract is $42 for which education customers pay $21.  Digital
is committed to the VMS DECwindows Motif product.  The discussion in this
conference has been disappointing for me when the assumption is that if we
don't give it to you for free, we're difficult, we're not committed to
standards, or products or this market.

Regards,
Ellen Minter


QUESTION:  WHERE DOES RTNV COME FROM FOR EDUCATION CUSTOMERS?

    The CSLG Program gives you the license and rights to new versions for the
    products that are in Addendum A of your CSLG Agreement.  Nothing more,
    nothing less.

    The Education Softare Library or a Software Support Service contract will
    give you the rights to new versions for the products that you have
    purchased commercial licenses for.

    Education customers may purchase commercial update licenses (QL-part
    numbers) for each system at a 50% grant each time a new version of the
    product is desired.

QUESTION:  WHAT ABOUT DECWINDOWS MOTIF LICENSES, RTNV AND SUPPORT?

    VMS DECwindows Motif is not in the CSLG and will not be in the CSLG.  It is
    a royalty product.  If you would like the product, you may purchase the
    commercial license (QL part number) at a 50% discount and may purchase the
    media and documentation kit (H-kit) through DECdirect at a 30% discount.
    Commercial licenses are not campuswide licenses so you will need to
    purchase one license for each system.

    When you purchase the product, you receive a Product Authorization Key
    (PAK) that is different than a CSLG PAK.  You will NOT get a VMS DECwindows
    Motif PAK from the Education Software Library or any Software Support
    Service contract.  The commercial license for DECwindows Motif allows you
    to run the product and it's new versions provided you are under a software
    support service contract (SSS or ESL).

    For example, if you are in the ESL, you have the rights to new versions and
    phone support for the system on which you have purchased commercial VMS
    DECwindows Motif licenses for ONLY!

    If you are not under a service contract, the commercial license for
    DECwindows Motif only gives you the rights to run the version of the
    product that you originally purchased.

    You will not receive PAKs from an SSS or an ESL contract.  These contracts
    ONLY give you the rights to new version (RTNV) if you have purchased the
    commercial license.   Technically, you could install a new version of Motif
    and your original Motif PAK will work.  This is illegal.

WHAT ABOUT THE MOTIF LICENSE DEAL?

    The VMS DECwindows Motif license offer expired in February 1992.  If you
    applied for the license, you the license for VMS DECwindows V1.0 and media
    kit.  You did not recieve any rights to new versions or any software
    support as part of that offer.  If you were under a service contract (SSS
    or ESL) which was a prerequisite to apply for the offer, then you received
    the RTNV and software support from your service contract.

IS MOTIF ON THE CONDIST?

    Yes.

WHAT IS THE PRICING OF VMS DECWINDOWS MOTIF?

    Remember that education cusotmers get a 50% on QL part number licenses and
    a 30% grant through DECdirect on media and documentation kits.  There is no
    education discount on any service offerings for education cutomers.
