If you are upgrading from an old nntpcache license then the + upgrade fee is n/3, where n is the number of years since + your last license. So during the first year + upgrades are free, during the second year 1/3 the cost, etc. + + 1. Work out how many users your site has. You will probably + want to artificially increase this number if you expect + it to grow in the future so you don't unintentionally + break the license conditions. This figure is the actual + number of users site-wide (e.g wc /etc/passwd or ypcat + passwd|wc), NOT the number of concurrent NNTPCache users. + + Don't worry, it is presumed that only a minority of + network users use news regularly. The figures reflect + this expectation. What we're trying to work out is the + approximate size of the network user base. + + We calculate the license size in this fashion because + other models would dramatically increase compliance costs + or prevent interesting network topologies. + Organisations usually know (or can easily work out), + the number of network users they have, but introducing + a user accounting system for just for news would be + be odious as would limiting the number or configuration + of servers. + + You can run as many NNTPCache machines as you want. In + *any* network configuration you want. If NNTPCache was + licensed on a per-machine or concurrent user basis, then + this would be impossible. + + 2. Choose the appropriate site license for your site: + + TYPE $US $AUS* + + Single user $10 $15 + Under 10 users $50 $70 + Under 100 users $120 $190 + Under 500 users $300 $450 + Under 1000 users $500 $750 + Under 5000 users $1500 $2272 + Under 10000 users $3000 $4545 + Over 10000 users negotiable+ negotiable+ + +* Note than you can only pay in Australian dollars if your organisation + is headquartered in Australia or New-Zealand. + ++ If no fee is mutally negotiated, then the fee shall be $3000 USD per + ten thousand users. + + 3.
