LICENSING and MULTI-USER SUBSCRIPTIONS to HerbMedPro™
Thank you for your interest in HerbMedProTM, the professional version of HerbMed®. HerbMedPro licensing and subscriptions are administered by the American Botanical Council.
To discuss the options below in detail please contact the American Botanical Council via this:
FEES AND ACCESS OPTIONS
LICENSES
Licenses are suitable for companies, medical practices, or organizations that wish to provide third party information on their web sites or to use it in combination with their own data. The entire database available for your website, customized to the look and feel of the site so it can be integrated into the navigation system. The data is continually maintained and updated.
Licenses typically cost $3,000 US per year for companies and $2,000 US per year for nonprofit organizations. We require licensees to sign a mutually protective contract.
LIBRARY AND OTHER MULTI-USER SUBSCRIPTIONS
Institutional library subscriptions are set up so that all faculty and students, and visitors to the library can access the database on your library intranet site. If the proxy server allows off-campus use, we allow that too. However, you would need a full license to have it on your public facing site and the database must be password protected.
| Small College Libraries: | $200 US per year |
| Major Medical/Health Science Libraries: | $250 US per year |
| Non Profit INTRANET: | $200 US per year |
| For Profit INTRANET: | $500 US per year |
CUSTOMIZED SETUPS FOR LICENSES AND MULTI-USER SUBSCRIPTIONS
You may customize HerbMedProTM on your own website for intranet or internet use. Basically this means that you are hosting the database on your own server and can add functionality, extra data, and features.
For example, libraries may link to full-text articles; companies may add herb records to specific products or may opt for only a portion of the herb records to link to their own data or products. Pricing is individually negotiated and there is a one time $250 setup fee if individually hosted scripts are required.
You may also be interested in Single-User Subscriptions or Pay-Per-Day.
Advantages of direct access to HerbMedPro™:
-
Access to all the herb records in the database
-
Direct link to the actual data (not precomputed pages)
-
Continuous updating as the database is being built and updated
-
