Rakesh,
To confirm our conversation: Please, go ahead and buy a copy. Vince Rakesh Bharati@ENRON 03/29/2001 02:06 PM To: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Tanya Tamarchenko/HOU/ECT@ECT, Vasant Shanbhogue/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Visual Numerics CNL Licensing Issues Vince, Tanya and I feel that there is a need for a constrained optimization routine for our VAR related research. Numerical recipes does not contain subroutines where equality and inequality contraints can be easily incorporated. Also, the number of arguments that can be handled is also limited. IMSL provides a comprehensive library of more than 300 C/C++ statistical and mathematical analysis functions. We think that it would be of great value to our efforts and to the efforts of our research group. Presently the cost is aproximately around $1500 and Mike Bothwell (Visual Numerics Rep) assures us as the version is not license protected, we all can use it as long as simultaneous usage is within the license. Please let me know if you should need further information.

Any change in status? Let me know I can furhter help you. Best regards, Mike Bothwell Account Manager Visual Numerics Inc.

Version 5 will be. The PC Version 4.0 can be installed on a network drive and called from networked PCs. As expected, we would ask that Enron honor the license agreement by allowing only the number of simultaneous uses permitted by the license. Version 5.0 will be license managed and can be licensed as node locked or floating. With regard to Unix licensing, the current version of CNL for Unix is license managed. It can be licensed as node locked or floating. If you install the libraries on a Unix server as node locked, the number of simultaneous sessions on that server is not limited except by the capabilities of the machine. A floating Unix license would be checked out by the individual user to be executed on a local machine. Also as mentioned, your investment is protected by allowing you to upgrade in the future by paying only the price difference between your current and desired platforms. This upgrade option only applies to licenses covered under support. If you have any additional questions, please let me know. I look forward to providing you the best math and statistical libraries available today to help you solve your problems and understand your data.
