[McIDAS #HQQ-862596]: Download mcidas non-U.S user

Hi Mohamed,

I apologize for not responding to your inquiry before now!

Our license to distribute McIDAS-X with the owners of the software,
the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) at the University of
Wisconsin (UW) allows us to distribute our version of McIDAS-X freely
to U.S. universities.  We can also distribute our version of McIDAS-X
to non-U.S. universities as long as they agree to certain conditions
on use of McIDAS-X.  We are not licensed to distribute McIDAS-X to
individuals without first getting special permission from UW/SSEC.

Please ask someone from your department to request access
to Unidata McIDAS-X on your behalf.  When we receive that request, we
will send along the conditions that the owners of McIDAS, the University
of Wisconsin's Space Science and Engineering Center (UW/SSEC), require
us to impose on non-U.S. education sites before they can get access to the
software.

I apologize for the extra effort that it will take on your and your
department's part to get access to Unidata McIDAS-X, but there is
nothing we can do because of the license restrictions that UW/SSEC
has imposed on us.

Cheers,

Tom
