The ITS Software Store has received multiple requests from the Medical Center to add Invitrogen's Vector NTI Advance 11 for Windows product to its storefront. Vector NTI offers sequence analysis and data management functionality to researchers. In the past, annual licenses, which expire one year after activation, were offered to higher education for free. The supplier no longer offers the software for free.. Invitrogen has offered a volume discount to Vanderbilt if there is demand for at least seventy-five licenses. Each license includes:
  • Perpetual use rights (i.e. the software never expires)
  • Technical support via email
  • Update rights to version 11 revisions
  • Backward use rights for version 10
  • Media, a Quick Start Guide, and an Installation Guide
  • An additional 48% discount when upgrading to future versions
Version 12 is expected to be released during 2011. Licenses may be installed on systems owned by Vanderbilt departments, employees and current students. The software may only be used for non-profit research. The ITS Software Store must recover cost before it can place the order.
