If you are an undergraduate or graduate student, you may obtain a 1-year license for the Student Edition of Exceed from Hummingbird Communications, Ltd. The Student Edition is identical to the regular version of Exceed, except that its use is limited to one academic year. The software automatically expires and becomes unusable on August 31st following the academic year for which it was purchased (i.e. if you buy a copy of Exceed in August, 2003 it will be usable until August 31, 2004). The current price is $25 per copy. When it expires, you may re-license it for another year and get the newest version as well.

NOTE: If you purchased the Student Edition of Exceed for the 2002-2003 academic year, it will have expired as of August 31st, 2003. You must purchase a copy of the 2003-2004 Student Edition and re-install the software according to the instructions below.

You must purchase Exceed online.

Note: you will receive an e-mail confirmation once your transaction is completed. Be sure to save this e-mail! It will serve as your proof of purchase.

Once you have purchased the software, you will be given the opportunity to download it from the download site. At this point, you have two options:

  1. You may download the software from the web page. The file is about 56 megabytes, and will take several hours to download via a modem.
  2. You may obtain a copy of the software on a CD in the Technology Solutions Center (002B Smith Hall). You must present:
    1. your student ID card (UD1 card);
    2. proof of purchase (a print-out of the e-mail confirmation which you received after you purchased the software will suffice); and
    3. a blank, writable CD-R. These are sold at the University Bookstore.
    If you decide to get the CD from the TSC, it's a good idea to call ahead (831-8895) to ensure that a copy of the software will be waiting for you.
Once you have obtained the CD or downloaded the software, refer to the Exceed installation instructions.
