Educators

Universities are among the most active users of PC X server software as most campuses host scores of powerful Unix and Linux systems engaged in some of the most exotic and computationally demanding research.

From the outset in 1989, StarNet understood that tight budgets for software demanded a creative set of licensing programs to make X-Win32 affordable for universities as a whole, engineering departments, individual faculty, even students. These programs enabled StarNet to quickly established itself as the leading supplier of PC X server software to the education market. Today, more than 130 universities around the world (see list below) subscribe to StarNet's Unlimited Campus License program. Close to 2,000 smaller classroom license packages for 25-100 machines have also been purchased. Here is an overview of the various programs:
