PRICE CHANGE FOR MATLAB LICENSES (DEADLINE 1/20/05)

We recently were informed by The MathWorks that fixed volume pricing for
new licenses will no longer be available starting January 1,
2005. This means that the cost of new licenses will increase significantly.

Because of their late notification about this price change, The Mathworks
is allowing us to place one additional order in January 2005 under the
current fixed pricing model. If you plan on purchasing new licenses for
The Mathworks products in 2005 and you want to guarantee that your licenses
will be priced under the current rates, you must submit your order to
Software Distribution by January 20, 2005, at 5:00 pm.
The current pricing is posted at:

         <http://softdist.berkeley.edu:591/Matlab2004/pricelist.html>http://softdist.berkeley.edu:591/Matlab2004/pricelist.html

After January 20th, Software Distribution will have a small reserve of
certain products which will be available at the current fixed volume
pricing. Once this reserve has been depleted, all purchases for new
licenses will be sold at the standard academic rates, which are
higher. Departments should not rely on this reserve for additional
licenses they expect to need. Orders for new licenses may be placed at:

         http://softdist.berkeley.edu:591/Matlab2004/default.html

Please note that this change in pricing will not affect the cost of
maintenance on existing licenses -only the purchase of new licenses.
