STUDENT and POST-DOC LICENSES

We've now made student licensing available. The price for an annual student license is $99 ($124 if you also want the add-on Assembler functionality) and for Post-Doc licenses is $250 ($300 with Assembler). These licenses of MacVector are subject to certain limitations but the functionality of the software is not restricted in any way other than being limited to a period of 12 months from purchase. After the 12 months have expired you will be able to purchase a new student/post-doc license. However, this will still be subject to the same criteria.

PURCHASE A STUDENT LICENSE OR POSTDOC LICENSE

Please make the payment using the following Paypal button or directly contact MacVector sales if you prefer. Following payment you will be taken to a page that will summarise the extra pieces of information (as detailed above) that we need to create your student license. Following receipt of payment and these extra pieces of information you will be sent a license within 24 hours (longer during holidays and weekends).

Please note: If you pay via Paypal, but do not meet the criteria detailed above, your payment will be refunded less a transaction fee of $5.
