We increased prices slightly (about 2% per year) on a few products starting in September 2007, for the first time ever in the 13 year history of our company. To somewhat offset the price increase, we have made First Class shipping and handling free. (Note that the Teacher Pack Single User License is actually $10 cheaper than in 1994(!), because now shipping is free.) We have also included the Specialty and Decorative fonts, which used to cost $10 additional, free. If you absolutely must register a complaint, address it to dave@educationalfontware.com, and blame him, the President, not the order taker.
Pricing:
Each of our CDs has both Mac and
Windows installers, with separate folders for each of the font
families. Except for DK and LG, each handwriting font family has both Manuscript
and Cursive. To get the Upgrade price, you must have a valid license on file with us. All of the font families are on the CDROM, and you may use any of them.

The Licenses:
When you buy one of our products, you have a license to use any
or all of the font families on the CD. Allowed use "at home" means that all computers in the home may use the fonts. Tech support is free for all products. Call us with any questions
about licenses, or if you need a hardcopy of our licensing information.
1-800-806-2155.
You may make copies of the CDs and the User Guides, but you may only use the copies as allowed by your license. If you copy a CD, make sure that it works on both Macs and PCs - some copy programs don't do a good job of copying the data for the "other kind" of computer. Call if you have questions.
Teacher Pack Single User License (SU) - covers one computer at school and one teacher at home. You may install the fonts on a shared computer, such as in a computer lab. But on only one computer at one school, and one teacher at home.
For the Specialists (OT, Special Ed), a Single User License covers an individual specialist wherever he/she is working. The Specialist can use the fonts at every school to which she travels, and on her computer at home. But realize that a Single User License is really that - one user, not everyone.
Teacher Pack Site License (SL) - covers all the computers at the school, all the teachers at home, and parents of Special Ed students at home.
Special Ed District License (SPEDDSL) - covers all the specialists' computers at every school in the district, all the specialists' home computers, and parents of Special Ed students at home. This license is only for specialists; if mainstream teachers want to use any of our fonts, they need to have their own license (which may be either SU or SL).
District License (DL) - covers all the computers in the district, and all the staff (teachers, tech support, principals, parapros, specialists, ...) on their home computers. In addition, parents of special ed students may install the fonts on their home computers for use with their special ed children. The District License is based on the elementary schools - buy for all of them (even one, if that's all you have), and all the rest of the schools are automatically covered. Once you have a District License, any schools that you add in the future are also included in the license. This includes any and all new elementary schools.
Homeschooler Single User License for handwriting fonts -- This product has been discontinued. Holders of valid Homeschool Single User Licenses may upgrade to Teacher Pack Single User Licenses.
Upgrades:
When a teacher has personally bought a SU license and the school buys a Site License, we will refund the teacher's cost directly to the teacher. Really!
If your school already has a Site License, and wants new material, we have a Site License Upgrade package for $100.00, the same package you would get with a brand new Site License.
If your school already has one or more Single User licenses, and buys a Site License, we give full credit for all the SU purchases.
You can upgrade an existing Single User license to a new Single User license. With this alternative, you can change to a different font family, replace your old floppy disks with a CD, be compatible with a new version of a word processor, or get new media when you can't find the original floppies or CD.
District Licenses may be upgraded for $100/elementary school. (We've put a LOT of work into keeping the font package compatible with current versions of operating systems and word processors.) All schools beyond the elemenatary level are free - tell us how many you have and we will give you exra CDs for your middle and high schools.
Holders of valid Homeschool Single User Licenses may upgrade to Teacher Pack Single User Licenses.
