Ottawa, Canada (Vocus) November 12, 2009

e-academy Inc. is proud to announce the availability of PASW 18 on its OnTheHub Global eStore. Starting November 10 2009, qualified academic buyers will be able to upgrade to the latest version of this leading statistical analysis package. The exclusive offer covers all students, faculty and staff at most North American higher education institutions.

Upon purchase, buyers will have the choice of downloading the software directly from the OnTheHub Global eStore. As with version 17, e-academy's unique distribution model allows students to buy 6 month and 12 month licenses of SPSS software at dramatically reduced prices, rather than purchase the more expensive perpetual licenses. Through this innovative license agreement, students can lease the software for six months for as low as $35, or for one year at $70. Add-on modules are also available for $25 each. Faculty pack is available under a 12 month license for $250.

e-academy's online fulfillment system has academic eligibility rules built in allowing it to authenticate members of the academic community prior to enabling an online purchase. Students who wish to purchase the software will have a choice between obtaining it on a CD or downloading it direct from the OnTheHub eStore. e-academy's secure encryption process protects software publishers against piracy while allowing students 24-hour access to the software they need. Once installed, all features of the software will be available throughout the license period and purchase includes an option to renew upon expiration.

Since its inception, e-academy has designed solutions that allow institutions of higher education to reduce costs and concentrate on their core mission, higher learning. In fact, e-academy pioneered software rental agreements back in 2001. Software vendors gain volume, while building long-term relationship with students, universities get to free up lab time and simplify license management requirements, and students can learn on the latest software titles at prices that effectively deter piracy.
