In addition to offering
discounts on single copy & volume licenses to
educational institutions or individual instructors,
Edgetech America, Inc. also offers a couple of other mechanisms for
educational institutions to license MapSpeller for
educational purposes only. They are:
- The Educational Lab License Agreement
- The Educational Institution Enterprise License
Agreement (ELA).
With both agreements, the software expires when
the contract ends.
The Educational Lab License
Agreement
The lab contract enables educational
institutions to install and use MapSpeller in a single lab room and
computer network on up to
30 named PCs, including up to three instructor PCs. The instructors' PCs
don't need to be on the lab network.

The Educational Enterprise License Agreement (ELA)
By signing such contracts, educational
institutions are renting
unlimited licenses of MapSpeller on a single network domain and for for educational purposes only.
The Educational ELA has the following benefits over the
single copy & volume licensing mechanism:
- Non-discrimination: All ArcGIS Desktop
students and instructors
are offered the same opportunity to create typo-free maps and data
- Spreading usage cost over the life of the
contract (three years), avoiding initial higher cost of purchasing
licenses
- Flexibility: No need to purchase additional
licenses as the use of ArcGIS increases
- Lower unit cost.
