Exceed 7.0 for UD Students

If you are an undergraduate or graduate student, you may obtain a 1-year license for the Student Edition of Exceed from Hummingbird Communications, Ltd. The Student Edition is identical to the regular version of Exceed, exceptthat its use is limited to one academic year. The software automatically expires and becomes unusable on August 15th following the academic year for which it was purchased. For example, if you buy a copy of Exceed in September, 2001 it will be usable until August 15, 2002. The current price is $25/copy per PC. When it expires, you can re-license it for another year and get the newest version as well.

NOTE: If you purchased the Student Edition of Exceed for the 2000-2001 academic year, it will have expired as of August 15th, 2001. You must purchase a copy of the 2001-2002 Student Edition and re-install the software according to the instructions below.

You must purchase Exceed online. Please see:

Note: you will receive an e-mail confirmation once your transaction is completed. Be sure to save this e-mail! It will serve as your proof of purchase.

Once you have purchased the software, you will be given the opportunity to download it. At this point, you have two options:

1. You may download the software from the web page. If you opt to do this, you will need to configure the software by hand as described in the Exceed installation instructions. Furthermore, the time required to download the ~50 Mb file may be several hours via a modem.
2. You may obtain a copy of the software on a CD in the Technology Solutions Center (002B Smith Hall). This CD installs the software already configured for use at the University, and includes some files which are not included in the download. In order to get a copy of this CD, you must present:
   1. your student ID card (UD1 card);
   2. proof of purchase (a print-out of the e-mail confirmation which you received after you purchased the software will suffice); and
   3. a blank, writable CD-R. These are sold at the University Bookstore.
   If you decide to get the CD from the TSC, it's a good idea to call ahead (831-8895) to ensure that a copy of the software will be waiting for you.

   NOTE: if you will be installing Exceed under Windows XP, the CD distributed by the TSC will not work. You will have to obtain the installer via option 1 above, and then configure Exceed manually. Further details are given on the following page.
