What is the cost?
The cost at current membership numbers is $258 / user / year but this cost will decrease as we increase lab membership. Refer to this embedded table and graph photo for an idea of discounts as we grow membership.
| Server Size (seats | Annual Cost | Per User Cost |
| 50 | $17,982 CAD | $360 |
| 100 | $25,849 CAD | $258 |
| 200 | $35,646 CAD | $178 |
| 300* | $53,162 CAD | $178 |
| 500 | $53,162 CAD | $106 |
There is no 300-seat server option. The per user cost is based on utilizing 3/5 of seats on a 500 seat server. Graph shows USD as Bio-Itech bills UBC in USD.
Other important notes:
- All members must have a FASMail email.
- Send new account requests including First Name, Last Name, and primary FASmail email address for each account to olivia.underdah@ubc.ca.
- Unpaid students (ie. undergraduates) must sign a FIPPA waiver and have a sponsored CWL with FASmail email to ensure their EAD and email link up for login purposes.
- Labs must commit to a fixed number of seats on the annual license. LSI will process cost recovery via Workday, to the worktag specified by the lab supervisor.
- All labs will have a group level admin assigned. These group admins are responsible for deactivating accounts of departing lab members, in order to free up a seat on the license and ensure seats are available for onboarding of new members.
