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:
http://www.udel.edu/topics/connect/sw/exceed/docs/UD-Exceed-student-obtain.html
for information on purchasing Exceed.
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:
- 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.
- 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:
- your student ID card (UD1 card);
- proof of purchase (a print-out of the e-mail confirmation which
you received after you purchased the software will suffice); and
- 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.
Once you have obtained the CD or downloaded the software, refer to the
Exceed installation instructions.
