Education Licensing

Education institutions such as colleges and schools often need multi-user licences for Markin, and we provide such licences at a sensible price, with flexible conditions.

All multi-user licences are based around "seats" - a seat is an additional user licence for a full copy of the program. If an institution wants to buy the program with a licence which enables 25 members of staff to use it, the institution you must buy one full licence and 24 extra seats.

When ordering Extra Seats, please ensure that the order is placed in the name of an institution such as a college or school. Individual users cannot purchase Extra Seats.

One popular feature of our site-licensing terms is that they automatically entitle any teacher who is authorised to use one of the "seats" to install and use the program on a computer at home. The following restrictions apply:

• The institution is responsible for ensuring that the number of staff-members using the program at any one time does not exceed the number of licensed seats, no matter where those users may be located.
• Staff members may only install and use the program at home in order to do work for the institution which owns the licence. If a teacher wants to use the program when doing work for different institutions who do not own Markin licences, that teacher must purchase his/her own copy of the program (or convince the other institution to buy one for them!).

The price you (or your school or college) will pay for the first full licence is always the same - £20. (The "£" or pound is our UK currency - one pound is currently worth approximately US Dollars, or Euros.)

The price of extra seats depends on the number you want:

• 1-10 seats: £10 each
• 11-25 seats: £9 each
• 26-50 seats: £7.50 each
• 51-100 seats: £6 each

For licences over 100 users, please contact us by email to discuss pricing.

Please note that the payment method can affect pricing. If you pay by credit card (Visa or Mastercard), or using a cheque (or Eurocheque) which is made out in pounds, the prices shown on our shopping basket pages are exactly what you pay.

But if your school cannot pay by credit card or by writing a cheque in pounds, we can accept cheques (or checks!) in most currencies, but this may incur a transaction charge. Please contact us by email to discuss the best way to pay.

We are usually happy to accept official orders from Education institutions. It is usually best to send official orders by post or by fax - the address and contact numbers are given on our Contact Page. But PLEASE NOTE THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE ABOUT PAYMENT METHODS. If you place an order which you intend to pay using a cheque made out in a currency other than UK Pounds, please add an extra 10 pounds (US$ or equivalent) to the total cost, to cover the processing fee.
