MetaVR Product Pricing and Upgrades

Summary of MetaVR's product pricing

• MetaVR is the sole source manufacturer and provider of all MetaVR software.
  
• MetaVR does not make its software available through commercial resellers. In certain circumstances, the transfer of a software license for a MetaVR product can be made, in accordance with our end-user license agreement. Systems integrators can contact MetaVR at sales@metavr.com for additional information.
  
• MetaVR offers volume pricing for the purchase of new VRSG licenses in quantities 5 or more licenses. Please contact sales@metavr.com for a quotation.
  
• MetaVR includes the first 1-year period of maintenance and technical support with the purchase of a software license or software maintenance renewal. The active maintenance period begins upon your receipt of the permanent unlock code for a 1-year period of maintenance and technical support.
  
• MetaVR provides hardware components (such as 3D accelerators, controllers, and terrain hard drives) for the convenience of its software customers. A hardware component is sold only in conjunction with the purchase of a MetaVR software product.

Best pricing policy

• MetaVR publishes our commercial off-the-shelf software prices on our order form.
  
• MetaVR maintains a "Best Pricing" policy by offering the same price for a VRSG software license to all customers: US Government, commercial, or international.

Additional features and additional materials

• In certain cases, MetaVR develops additional features in its software products to meet customer requirements at no additional cost. (MetaVR determines whether it will perform this service on a case-by-case basis.)
  
• MetaVR provides several non-classified terrain databases for official use within the United States with the purchase of certain software products at no additional cost. (See product descriptions for details.) The use of these terrain databases requires the latest version of VRSG.
• In certain cases, MetaVR provides additional materials, such as software libraries and databases, including, without limitation, the MDS Read API, the MDX Read API, and the viewpoint protocol, and hardware components to customers on active maintenance.

Product upgrades

You can purchase software maintenance at any time. This includes upgrade software for the current version of VRSG or Terrain Tools if you have previously purchased a prior version of the same software product.

• Upgrading to the current version of a software product requires use of the USB security dongle that was previously furnished with the software. Once you have upgraded your software product to a new version, the dongle will no longer enable the previous version of the software.
  
• Upgrading to the current version of VRSG from either VRSG version 4 or VRSG version 3 is not covered by the maintenance agreement for version 4 or version 3 (those maintenance agreements applied to those versions only). You must purchase software maintenance to upgrade your software to the current version (version 5).
  
• Upgrading to the current version of VRSG from VRSG version 2 requires the purchase of a new VRSG software license.

For information about software maintenance benefits, see MetaVR's end-user license agreement.
