[Useq-users] U of U Campus IPA license

[David N. <Dav...@hc...>]

Hello Folks,

We’ve purchase an IPA license for the University that allows unlimited accounts and six months of unlimited concurrent users, afterward it drops to just one concurrent user, with options to purchase more if needed. We’re asking $2K/ lab group to help defray the $25.5K cost.

If you are interested in accessing this software, please send a chart field account number and the email addresses and uNIDs of covered lab members by Friday the 11th for the first batch access.  We’ll be monitoring usage through the year to refine needs for 2015.

-cheers, David

We can purchase individual licenses ($10-13K/ year) or pool resources and purchase a campus wide license at a discount ($25K for 1 or $48K for 2 concurrent instances/ year, unlimited number users). The more I use it (20hrs +) the more I feel it is a critical resource for interpreting most every dataset coming off our genome sequencers.
