What is the difference between a Network License and a Site License?
The cost of an E-Prime 2.0 Professional Network License is based on the number of concurrent seats purchased (10 seat minimum with quantity discounts applicable). The number of concurrent seats purchased corresponds to the number of copies of the E-Prime software that can be used on the network simultaneously for experiment design. For every 10 concurrent network seats purchased, users will additionally receive 2 complimentary E-Prime 2.0 Professional Single User Licenses (e.g. for travel or general use of the software when not connected to the local network.) Each site will receive one network license key which may be attached to any machine running on the local network via a USB port. All other machines on the network will check for the existence of this key when the E-Prime software is launched and will permit the launch to continue only if there are additional seats currently available.

Why choose a Network License?
The E-Prime 2.0 Professional Network system is identical to the E-Prime 2.0 Professional Single User system in regards to its capabilities and features. However, the network license offers lab administrators and IT personnel more efficient and centralized control of their E-Prime software license by supporting the ?ghosting? of lab machines from a single software image. This process will allow sites to recognize significant cost and time savings when imaging, deploying, migrating, and managing systems.

Will E-Prime 1.x experiments be compatible in E-Prime 2.0?
Yes. E-Prime 1.x experiments will upgrade into E-Prime 2.0 without error or significant modifications. Once an experiment is upgraded into E-Prime 2.0 it will no longer be accessible in E-Prime 1.x.

Will I be required to use E-Prime 2.0 and uninstall E-Prime 1.x?
No. E-Prime 2.0 will support what is known as a "side-by-side" installation where both E-Prime 1.x and E-Prime 2.0 can be on the system at the same time. Experiment files can be upgraded from E-Prime 1.x to E-Prime 2.0, but once converted to the E-Prime 2.0 format, the experiments cannot be accessed through the E-Prime 1.x system. When converting experiments, E-Prime 2.0 will backup your original E-Prime 1.x file so that you can continue to access the original in E-Prime 1.x.

What are the machine requirements for E-Prime 2.0?
Traditional Experiments will require at least a 1GHZ processor and 256MB of system memory. Recommended machine for graphic intensive or movie stimuli will require a 2GHZ or greater, 1GB mem, 8X AGP or PCI Express with 128MB video memory.

Will E-Prime 2.0 compatible with Windows VISTA?
