Existing education licence users - upgrade to HOTS online One of the advantages of the web version of HOTS is to avoid the problems which some users experienced when HOTS was installed on their own network. A consequence of this is a change in our costs for users with multiple installations. It did not cost us anything extra for a user to install an additional three copies of HOTS on their server, but now we do incur costs for the set up and maintenance of each HOTS site. For that reason, our intention is to offer all existing users one free HOTS web site but to charge a one-off set up fee for extra copies. That fee is €250, or $375 per site and so you would pay a total of €750 or $1,125 to have four sites. You can, of course, also continue to use the version of HOTS on your own server and we will still provide support for that throughout 2010. Once you have the sites set up the HOTS licensing fee now changes from the previous annual flat fee to a ‘per user’ fee of €50 or $75 per student. You simply tell us how many user licences you need for the coming year and we will invoice you accordingly. The student licences are annual and transferable, so if you have two student intakes a year the first group can pass their licences on to the second group. There is also a licence fee ‘cap’ for existing users so that the ‘per user’ fee cannot exceed €1,250 per year. So you could save money, but you cannot pay more than you were paying before.   Download education upgrade prices in Euro (PDF) Download education upgrade prices in US$ (PDF) Download education upgrade prices in £ sterling (PDF)   The Total Simulator Co.
