Q: Why do I find different or cheaper prices for VSLS Software on the software company website ?

Answer

Occasionally prices you may see for VSLS software may differ dramatically from prices you may see on the vendors' websites.
These prices may differ for several reasons.

The software offered directly from the company may not have all the features of the license agreement
for which MIT has negotiated.

• The vendor may have more stringent requirements for purchase and use.
• The software purchase may not include no-cost rights to updates.
• The software may not be available for network use.
• The software may not allow more than one install per purchase.
• The software may not include technical assistance from the vendor.

In many cases the MIT site license includes most or all of the above.
