This information is about annual licenses for Graphical Analysis Pro<\/a> and Vernier Video Analysis<\/a> sold starting in January 2023. There is also information about legacy licenses<\/a> available. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

How do your annual licenses work? <\/h3>\n

An annual site license covers all the students, faculty and staff at your K-12 school, or your entire academic department at the post-secondary level. For example, if your college has a physics department, one site license covers all students, faculty and staff in the physics department. Schools with multiple physical sites require a license for each site. <\/p>\n

Site licenses are valid for a duration of one year (or more, depending on which license duration you choose to purchase) from the date that you first activate the license. Renewals are available. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Do you have K-12 district licenses? <\/h3>\n

Yes. District site licenses are available. Please request a quote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

What if I only have a few students needing to use Graphical Analysis Pro and Vernier Video Analysis? <\/h3>\n

Site licenses provide the best value for most schools and departments. However, for certain qualifying schools, we offer small school subscription assistance to help scale your license to your school needs. Please reach out to our team at support@vernier.com<\/a> to learn more about your site license options for small schools.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Does the instructor need a license? <\/h3>\n

All instructor use is covered in site licenses. If you have purchased a small school subscription assistance license, you will need to include or expand the subscription to include each instructor using the app. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Why do I have an activation code? How is that different from a license key? <\/h3>\n

In order to provide flexibility in deploying licenses for our apps, we are providing activation codes. These codes do not unlock the apps, but they are instead used to obtain or to renew a license key. The expiration date of a license key is determined from the date the key is activated, and not from when the activation code is purchased. In this way you can purchase a code and choose your own start date. <\/p>\n

Activation codes do not expire. Activation codes are all upper case and are of the form GAP-ABCDEFGH<\/em> and VVA-ABCDEFGH<\/em>. License keys, in contrast, begin with ga<\/em> or va<\/em> have lower case letters. <\/p>\n

Renewal information is sent to the purchaser of the activation code. When the activation code is used to receive a license key, Vernier associates the key with the person performing the activation, who might not be the purchaser. Follow-up support on using the app is addressed to the person activating. Other instructors in the school or department also will have access to the license key information in their Vernier web accounts. <\/p>\n

District purchasers are given a code for each school; when these codes are distributed to each school, the person activating will be our contact for support and license information.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Can I purchase now and activate later? <\/h3>\n

Yes, we provide flexibility for school budget cycles. You will receive an activation code soon after your purchase is completed. The end date of the license is based on when the code is activated. For example, you can purchase using this year’s budget, and start using the software next year.<\/p>\n
