Lease Transition Issues & Questions to Consider

  1. Cost recovery necessary for new packages and seats (Increased prices reflected in table above)
  2. Cost recovery not possible for past unknown users
  3. Should we charge known past users annually? What pricing and mechanisms?
  4. How should pricing be set (cost recovery, low enough to reduce misuse of licenses?)
  5. Lab versus Individual Pricing
  6. Dept. vs. Open Labs
  7. Education and advertising avenues
