We are celebrating at Mestrelab these days, and not only because our 5th anniversary is approaching (more on that on a later post), but also because we have exceeded a milestone we are very proud of: we now have more than 50 academic institutions with perpetual campus licenses for Mnova NMR!

Amongst them, there are many very prestigious names, including, but not comprehensively, as I am only mentioning some of those who have given permission to be mentioned on our web communications:

• Yale University
• Caltech
• University of Rhode Island
• Princeton University
• The Scripps Research Institute
• ETH Zurich
• University of Ulm
• Munchen TU
• University of Munster
• Broad Institute at Harvard and MIT
• Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne
• Simon Fraser University
  University of Colorado at Boulder
• University of Barcelona
• Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona
• CSIC
• CNRS
• …

So why have these guys decided to go with a campus license of Mnova? I think there are several very obvious and very compelling reasons. I could expand on that and add more, but I want to keep this short and simple:

1. This allows them to give all their faculty, researchers and students access to the same platform to process, visualize and report NMR and LC/GC/MS data, independently of the NMR/MS equipment they are working with (with some exceptions in the case of MS, contact us to find out more)
2. They can accommodate Windows (including Windows 7 ), Mac OS and Linux users with one single software application (this is for the NMR and NMRPredict Desktop plugins at present)
3. The licensing is extremely flexible and allows users to work at remote locations even when not connected to the institution’s network (read more about licensing here), so this is great for processing and visualizing data whilst at conferences, working from home, writing up a PhD on a mountain retreat,…
4. Perpetual campus licenses are excellent value for money with a very low cost per head (you can find out more about pricing at our Store ). Just for example, for a University with 300 users, the PERPETUAL license for the NMR plugin works out at around €42 per user, and that is without considering the fact that new users in future will also be able to use the software, so in the long run the institution is looking at €10/€20 per user.

Of course, if any of you reading this are at an institution with a campus license, it would be great to see a comment about your main reasons to buy it, you know better than me!
