CLC bio Supports Education and Academics by Reducing the Prices of Selected Software Packages by 50%

Aarhus, Denmark — With the intention to better support education and academics, CLC bio today announced that the prices of its world leading DNA, RNA, and Protein sequence analysis software packages are reduced by 50% for academic customers. The four workbenches affected by this reduction are CLC Main Workbench, CLC DNA Workbench, CLC RNA Workbench, and CLC Protein Workbench.

Thomas Knudsen, CEO of CLC bio states: “Much of our scientific and commercial success

relates directly to our many collaborators and customers in the academic sector. However, in

recent times, budget constraints in the academic sector have negatively impacted the

researchers’ ability to upgrade to newer technologies – and now that we’re a financially

successful company, we think it’s the right time to give something back. This price reduction

makes it more affordable for individual academic researchers as well as universities to work

with advanced and user-friendly bioinformatics software.”

Reduced prices in effect immediately

As of today, academic institutions can purchase a CLC Main Workbench license for $985

USD (previously $1,975), or a CLC DNA Workbench, CLC RNA Workbench, or CLC Protein

Workbench license for $495 (previously $990). All listed prices are for single user, single

computer licenses. Prices have also been updated in CLC bio’s webshop:

Advantages for existing customers

Existing academic customers who have an active maintenance program as per May 6, 2010,

will also benefit from the price reduction: For each DNA, RNA, Protein, and Main Workbench

license in the program, they can request an extra license of the same kind. The license(s)

are valid forever, and Maintenance, Upgrade and Support will last as long as for their original

license(s). Another option is to swap each single license with a network license of the same

kind. Existing academic customers can request their free licenses using this form:

Price reductions also for academic site licenses

In addition, CLC bio announced a new concept for university-wide site licenses, enabling

researchers and students to have unlimited access to CLC bio’s software at a price level that

will fit into most university budgets. Contact CLC bio to learn more about site licenses:
