We heard the clamor, and we've responded (within our budgetary constraints). We will be receiving (stay tuned for the date) a 10-simultaneous-user network license for VectorNTI. Though we wished Invitrogen had maintained their Macintosh version, dropped a number of years ago, and while we wish that VectorNTI had remained free to academics, their academic pricing-policies allowed for a reasonable license size.

Don't Bogart that license: Floating network licenses require good citizenship. In particular, users are reminded to exit the program when they aren't using it. Don't tie up a license you don't need. Sales at Invitrogen felt that 10 licenses would cover us, and, at times like these, we'd need to demonstrate that 10 is an insufficient number. We do believe, however, that network licenses represent a significant savings over the long run.
