CourseForum/ProjectForum 3.5 Add New
Campus/Enterprise Licensing Options for Larger Sites

Released 4/19/2004.

CourseForum Technologies is pleased to announce the immediate availability of both CourseForum 3.5 and ProjectForum 3.5, its professional and easy-to-use web software for business and educational collaboration.

The products provide a focus for group work and collaboration, helping to move documents and projects forward fast. The wiki-style forums fill the gap between the scattered flurry of email and the time and expense of meetings or teleconferences. Whether used for project teams, intranets, or to complement educational offerings, the software ensures that everyone can actively and directly contribute.

Version 3.5 introduces a major new licensing option, suitable for larger sites. With Campus licensing (CourseForum) and Enterprise licensing (ProjectForum), licenses are based on the number of registered users. There are no limits on number of groups or courses, and a "single signin" feature allows the same account to be used everywhere, given the necessary access. Campus licenses start at US$500 per year (250 users), while Enterprise licenses start at US$1000 per year (150 users).

The existing per-course or per-group licensing model is still available, and offers the flexibility of no user limits and the option to allow either registered or unregistered users, controlled in each forum. Several smaller enhancements and fixes are also included in these versions. For a detailed list of changes, see either the ProjectForum Changes or CourseForum Changes page.

Easy to learn and use, both CourseForum and ProjectForum can be hosted on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, while users need only a standard web browser. Standard licenses are available starting from US$89 (US$229 for ProjectForum), and free "lite" versions of both products are available. Fully hosted options are also avaiable starting from US$15/month.
