- Hi Folks,
-
- To you it may have seemed an eternity since when we said that Executor
- pre-beta would cost $49 for students and faculty and $99 for everyone
- else and today, when the final deadline for these prices has been
- announced. To us it seems it's been twice that long.
-
- May 15 (slightly more than a week from today) will be the last day
- that we'll be accepting the pre-beta prices. Beta1 has been made and
- has been sent to the duplicators. We expect to have copies in our
- hands on the 15th, but even if we don't, that's the last day that
- we'll accept the pre-beta prices.
-
- ******* This section is for people who have not yet licensed Executor ******
-
- So until May 15, the licensing fee for new Executor licensees is:
-
- students educators everyone else
- E/D only N/A $49 $99
- E/L only N/A $49 $99
- E/D + E/L $49 $74 $124
- E/NS $99 $99 $199
-
- To the above prices, an additional $25 can be added to receive a copy
- of beta1 when it is ready. NOTE: Previously we were charging an
- additional $50 in order to get beta1. Since advertising that price,
- we decided that this is too high. So, we've lowered it to $25 and
- will issue refunds to the people who have already paid $149 for beta1.
-
- After May 15, the licensing fee for new Executor licensees is:
-
- students educators everyone else
- E/D+E/L+E/NS $149 $149 $149
-
- That's right; you'll get a license that allows you to run one copy of
- Executor on any of those three operating systems. You may not split
- the license up though and run E/D and E/L on different machines at the
- same time.
-
- NOTE: as we've mentioned several times in the past, we are (at least
- temporarily) discontinuing student and educational licenses. So order
- NOW if you are a student or educator and you like the old license
- fees.
-
- ******* This section is for people who have already licensed Executor ******
-
- If you are an Executor 1.<x> licensee and you haven't paid for beta1,
- but you'd like to get beta1 sent to you, we will do that for an
- additional $25, which includes postage and handling within the U.S.
- Postage and handling outside the U.S. is an additional $20. This $25
- beta1 fee will be good until Executor 2 is released. There are no
- plans to produce beta1 on a large scale.
-
- Remember, *all* Executor 1.<x> licensees get Executor 2 sent to them
- free of charge when it is ready. We are making beta1 available to
- people for extra money because many people have asked us to do so.

- Melissa is in the process of updating our web pages to allow you to
- order Executor directly from us using the web. We do not yet have a
- secure web server, so you're given the option of providing your credit
- card information or leaving it blank with instructions for someone
