The size opf an institution for licenseing purposes is determined taking into account the number of employees and the number of students. Calculating the annual fee is extremely easy.

Institutional Size (Full-Time Units, FTUs)

Organizational size is calculated by taking into account the number of employees and the number of students of the institution.

The customer must indicate the amount of full-time units (FTUs = full-time employees + full-time students; see 1.1 and 1.2 below) on the order form for the initial license order and for each subsequent order. This institutional calculation determines institutional size as the basis for annual product orders. Simply multiply the amount of FTUs by 1 € for the annual licensing fee.

Calculating the Full-Time Units

The ATLAS.ti Campus License fee is based on the total amount of institutional full-time units (FTUs). The calculation is as follows:

full-time units =
number of full-time employees + number of full-time students

Determining the Number of Full-Time Employees

The following are considered full-time employees: teaching and research staff, as well as any person employed by the institution for more than 200 hours per year. Staff and personnel without access to personal computers (such as janitorial staff, security, or cafeteria personnel) do NOT count as FTUs.

Calculating the Number of Employees

All other employees of an institution do count toward the FTU count. Student employees as well as part-time employees must also be included in the calculation. However, part-time employees do only count 50% of an FTU, so simply divide the total number of part-time employees by two and add the result as full-time employees.

This is the complete full-time employee formula:

full-time employees =
regular full-time employees + (part-time employees / 2)

Determining the Number of Students

Only officially enrolled full-time students qualify for student use of the software under an ATLAS.ti Campus License. The number of students for FTU purposes is determined by the number of full-time students and part-time students.

During the Campus License lease period, students may use the latest available version of ATLAS.ti. The software may be installed on a personal computer owned or leased by the student, or on a personal computer owned by the institution and assigned to a specific student.

The total number of students is calculated as follows:

full-time students =
full-time students + (part-time students / 2)

Work-at-Home Privileges for Employees and Students

Work-At-Home privileges ensure that faculty, staff, and students can use the latest ATLAS.ti version even off-campus. Precondition: The program may only be installed for work purposes on a home PC owned or leased by the employee or student. License and work-at-home privileges cannot be transferred to the user once his/her employee or student status with the institution ends.

Software Assurance

All Campus and Work-at-Home Licenses entail Software Assurance. This guarantees access to the very latest version of ATLAS.ti which is (or becomes) available as an update or an upgrade during the licensing period.

Sample Calculation

Sample University has 800 full-time employees, 400 part-time employees, 18,000 full-time students and 5,000 part-time students.

The annual license fee for an ATLAS.ti Campus License for Sample University would be calculated as follows:

800 + 400/2 + 18,000 + 5000/2=
800 + 200 + 18,000 + 2,500 = 21,500 FTUs

Calculated annual licensing fee: 21,500 FTUs x 1€ = 21,500€. However, since the ATLAS.ti Campus License is capped at 20,000€, Sample University would pay only 20,000 € per year for its ATLAS.ti Campus License.
