SATURN Multi-Core Price as of 1st April 2010
SATURN Multi-Core is available as a separate add-on module to standard SATURN suite. For simplicity, the pricing and maintenance structures follows the same mechanisms as the main product. We anticipate that SATURN Multi-Core will eventually be subsumed into the standard SATURN suite as the availability of multi-threaded software becomes more widespread; in the meantime, the software is available commercially to those users wishing to take immediate advantage of its benefits whilst enabling us to recover some of our investment costs. The purchase price and annual maintenance charges are summarised below.

1 A campus site consists of a registered office where SATURN is being used plus any satellite office(s) within a defined distance. Any other office(s) located within 15km radius of the registered office (or within the M25 motorway around London) are included within the same campus site. All offices where SATURN is in use need to be registered for maintenance and allocated to a campus site.
Upgrades
Maintained users holding a licence for a specific level of SATURN and subsequently wishing to upgrade to a higher level may do so at a cost equivalent to the price difference between levels (currently £250 per level). For example, an upgrade of three levels from Level ‘B’ to Level ‘H’ would cost a total of £750. Contact Ian Wright or Shafack Njoze for further details.
