EBA Life of File
- Docuseek2 now offers a 1-year (EBA) 10 title Life of File and a 3-year EBA 40 title Life of File option. For EBA Life of File, you pay the subscription amount at the start of the first year and have access to the entire collection for that year. At the end of the year, you select the specified number of titles to retain for Life of File. This is a great way to build an outstanding streaming collection. Additional Life of File licenses may be added based on tier price.
Individual Title licenses
- We license individual titles for one week, one semester (110 days), one year, three years or Life of File (see below). Per title prices drop based on the number of titles licensed and the license term, with price breaks at 15 titles, 30 titles, 60 titles, 100 titles and 200+ titles. This option requires a minimum order of 15 titles to qualify for a consortium discount.
Tokens
- Institutions may purchase tokens (minimum of 15) that can be exchanged at a later date for a single title license. Token purchases enable the customer to qualify for a lower per-title price when the needed titles are unknown. Tokens are priced the same as title licenses. We prefer that the tokens are used within a year. To exchange a token, just email support@docuseek2.com. The license period for the film begins when the token is exchanged.
Thematic sets, samplers and series
- We have curated thematic sets of titles that typically have a more attractive license fee than if the titles were licensed individually. Thematic sets exist for many academic disciplines. We also have thematic samplers (typically 12 to 15 titles) attractively priced to help schools get started with streaming. In addition, many titles belong to a series. These series may be licensed as one product. The series license fee is also typically better than licensing as single titles.
About Life of File
- Our Life of File option licenses the right to stream a file for the life of the H.264/.mp4 codec/file format from your equipment or from ours. If we stream files for the customer, an annual server fee may apply.
