Terms of Purchase

Each purchase of a new Scaffold-branded license (not including upgrades from one product to another) includes software upgrades and technical support for one year from the date of purchase. If you choose not to renew your Upgrade and Support Contract after one year, you may continue to use the software, but you will not have access to technical support and upgrades. Annual renewal of your Upgrade and Support Contract is 20% of the undiscounted list price of the product license, an amount which accumulates each year past the end of the contract. Third-party libraries or other third-party software included with the Scaffold product license may be subject to different terms and additional upgrade fees.

In-lab Licenses

  1. Needs to be purchased by original licensee (eg, by the same cost/budget center)
  2. Needs to be used in the same physical lab (eg, not necessarily in the same room, but in the primary licensee's or PI's lab space)
  3. Upgrade and support contracts for the in-lab license can only be purchased if the primary license's contract is also renewed. In other words, the in-lab license contract cannot be renewed on its own

Short-term Licenses

  1. Short-term licenses are available in 3-month increments for Scaffold DDA and Scaffold DIA
  2. Pricing is about 30% of list price found here
  3. Any short-term license fees within 12 months of initial purchase are eligible to be applied to a purchase of a permanent license. For example, if you purchase 2 x 3-month licenses for Scaffold DIA, you will have credit of $5990 towards the purchase of the full $9995 permanent license
