Please note that is not the *NEW* (i.e. second edition)

12-volume (1933) set.

Site Licence Charges for Recognized
Educational Establishments
Shakespeare: The Complete Works - Electronic Edition

Oxford University Press offers some of its educational software
packages on a site licence, for instructional use in recognized
educational establishments. Institutions which arrange a site
licence may purchase additional sets of documentation.

The charge for a site licence for Shakespeare: The Complete Works
- Electronic Edition is 500 pounds (plus VAT) in the EEC, or
1,000 US dollars in the rest of the World. The terms of the site
licence permit users to install the program on an unlimited
number of computers within the institution or on a local area
network for a period of five years. The licence is renewable
thereafter.

The site licences are valid only on the campus which has arranged
the site licence. Those educational establishments which cover
more than one campus must purchase a separate licence for each.

Site licensees may purchase additional sets of documentation for
7.50 pounds in the EEC, and 15 US dollars in the rest of the
World. This price may be reviewed and changed without notice.

The terms of this site licence replace those of any previous site
licence agreement.
