The information below may also help.

One year project

• Subscription optimal.
• For 3 or more users of Instructor, site subscription optimal.

If your project is for only one year, it works out cheaper to buy a subscription rather than a perpetual licence, plus subscriptions include free maintenance. Also, if you have 3 or more users of Instructor, a site subscription will save money over individual subscriptions.

Two year project

• For small groups, perpetual individual licences optimal (with one upgrade).
• For 4 or more users of Instructor, site licence optimal.

If your project is for two years, it may work out cheaper to buy perpetual individual licences rather than individual subscriptions as long as you only upgrade once during that time. However, if you have 4 or more users of Instructor, a perpetual site licence or a 2 year site subscription would work out cheaper, plus subscriptions include free maintenance.

Three year project

• For small groups, perpetual individual licences optimal.
• For 4 users of Instructor, a perpetual site licence is optimal.
• For 5 or more users of Instructor, either site licence option optimal.

If your project is for three years, it will probably work out cheaper to buy perpetual individual licences rather than individual subscriptions. However, depending on how many users you have, a 3 year site subscription or a perpetual site licence may work out cheaper. If you have 4 or more users of Instructor, a perpetual site licence or a 3 year site subscription would work out cheaper than perpetual individual licences, plus subscriptions include free maintenance.
