As you maybe aware, the free trial version of the MapInfo / TUFLOW Productivity Utilities expires on June 30, 2008. The official release of the utilities as a commercial product is scheduled for August 2008. A free interim release to bridge the gap from June 30th to end of August 2008 has been uploaded (see Downloads, Utilities). This interim release also includes further enhancements, bug fixes and new tools (see Downloads, Utilities).The licensing and purchase price details are: TUFLOW Licensees may purchase an organisation-wide licence for the MapInfo Utilities. The licence provides unlimited access to the utilities within the organisation, the only requirement for starting the utilities is that the user's machine has access to one of the organisation's TUFLOW dongles when starting up the Utilities. The utilities have no expiry date, but to be entitled to software upgrades and support, payment of an annual fee is required.
The purchase price (per organisation) is 10% of the current value of all TUFLOW Software Licence(s) held/purchased by the TUFLOW Licensee. The annual software upgrades and support fee is 5% of the current value of all TUFLOW Software Licence(s) held/purchased by the TUFLOW Licensee, with the first installment pro-rated to end next June. The annual fee entitles the organisation to free software upgrades and support.
For sales enquiries, please email GIS_Tools@wbmpl.com.au. To help gain the full benefits of the efficiencies that can be derived from using the utilities, training options and costs can be provided upon request. As an additional service, custom applications (eg. for streamlining working with LiDAR/ALS DEMs, data and model conversion, data and model QA/QC, custom interfaces, etc) can be developed. For more information, please contact GIS_Tools@wbmpl.com.au.
