Eventus and EventStream Price List

Please visit our quote request page to obtain a quote from which to place an order, or if you need a quote based on an upgrade discount, multi-campus discount, multi-operating environment discount or non-academic pricing. Prices are subject to change without advance notice, but our quotes lock in current prices for several weeks.

Eventus and EventStream are licensed and not sold. The prices on this page are for educational institutions only. Only current employees or currently registered students may be permitted to use the software. All prices on this page are for users at one site, defined as a geographically contiguous campus of an educational institution or two such campuses less than 30 km (18 miles) apart. Multiple sites of the same organization ordering simultaneously may be eligible for a multi-site discount. Eventus versions for installation on local Linux or Solaris systems require that we be granted system access (with write access but not root privileges) to install and test our software.

Explanation of Fee Options

Annual site subscription licenses allow unlimited users, with access to user support by e-mail and upgrades at no additional charge while the subscription is up to date. Perpetual licenses are available for the currently shipping version of Eventus for Windows only, for a one-time fee, with access to user support by e-mail for 18 months and downloadable hotfixes for 30 months. The perpetual license fee depends on the number of authorized users. This does not refer only to how many people may use the software simultaneously, but how many people are authorized to use it at any time. An authorized user who leaves the organization or permanently stops using the software may be replaced by another. Information technology staff need not be counted toward the authorized user limit if they do not use the software to obtain data or results except for software testing purposes. Research assistants and staff who use the software to obtain data and results for others count against the limit. Perpetual licenses do not include future versions, but our policy is to allow a discount when upgrading to the next version depending on the length of time since the previous purchase. We may make interim upgrades with new features available exclusively to annual subscribers. Future revisions to our software to accommodate substantial technical changes, beyond routine updating, in third-party products (e.g. Windows, SAS, CRSP) may be unavailable to existing perpetual licensees except by purchasing a new license to the latest version.

Standard Academic Prices

Fees in this table are for a single-site institution after the standard academic discount but before shipping, handling and activation charges and before any non-doctoral institution or institution size-related discount that may be applicable. The annual license fees are per year. Please inquire about multi-site discounts for universities with more than one site as defined near the top of this page. All amounts are in USD.

Additional Discounts for Non-Profit Educational Institutions Based on Doctoral Status and Size

The discounts listed on this page are for general information only. We reserve the right to determine the institution category using any method we deem appropriate and to amend or withdraw the discount policy without notice. The best discount percentage below for which the institution is eligible, if any, reduces the relevant fee from the standard academic price table above.

Non-Profit Educational Institution Category as Determined by Licensor (Cowan Research LC) Discount on Eventus for Windows 3-User and 10-User One-Time Fee Options Discount on Other Eventus for Windows Options Discount on Eventus for WRDS, Eventus for Solaris, or Eventus for Linux
Fewer than 10,000 total students institution wide; fewer than 300 total students in MBA and other business graduate programs combined; no doctoral degree in any discipline offered by the institution as a whole. All the criteria must be met simultaneously.
 
40% 45% 25%
No doctoral program in a business-related discipline (including economics) and fewer than 15,000 total students institution wide. Both criteria must be met.
 
35% 40% 20%
Fewer than 20,000 total students institution wide,
 
30% 35% 15%
Fewer than 30,000 total students institution wide, 25% 30% 10%

Total students means full- and part-time counted equally. In the case of an Eventus for WRDS and Windows combined subscription, the Eventus for WRDS discount is first applied to the Eventus for WRDS base fee, then the Eventus for Windows discount is applied to the balance of the combined fee. No discount applies to EventStream. Other discounts may be available for more than one local operating environment (for example, ordering Eventus for both Windows and Linux together) and multiple sites of the same institution ordering at the same time.

Shipping, Handling and Activation Fees

The fees above do not include potential shipping, handling and activation charges, which are always included in the quoted total and clearly itemized in your custom quote document if applicable. For the first year of an annual license, the standard activation fee for a single-campus institution is $250; this amount is after the standard academic discount and is not subject to further discounts. We do not charge shipping and handling on annual licenses. There is no activation fee for a renewal of an unexpired annual license.

The Fine Print

In some U.S. jurisdictions we may need to collect sales tax, not included in the quote, if the ordering entity is subject to sales tax. We do not collect taxes for non-U.S. jurisdictions. All our operations are within the state of Iowa in the U.S.

The non-WRDS versions of all our products require licensees to make their own arrangements to license The SAS System, version 9.1.3 or 9.2, which must be available to run on the same computer on which our software is to be installed. At a minimum, Base SAS and SAS/STAT are required; SAS/GRAPH, SAS/ETS or SAS/IML may be required to use some features. The SAS importer for PC file formats is highly recommended for Windows users, but not required to run Eventus itself. The SAS System is a product of SAS Institute, Inc. Three-user and ten-user licenses are limited to use with only one SAS site number, even if the licensee institution has more than one site number.

We sell our software licenses directly only. We do not work with resellers . All our software is licensed and not sold.
