Sibelius Software

Version 6 Announced!

What's new in the latest Sibelius Version 6  <Click here

A demonstration video can be viewed from this same link.

Note this special new feature of the Network version of Sibelius 6

Classroom Control < click here for features

Network Version of Sibelius 6

OTHER ADVANTAGES: The Sibelius 6 Network version, which has the Classroom Control feature, needs only the server software to be registered, not all the client computers.  This will save your IT personnel a lot of time by not having to register every copy of Sibelius 6.  Further, the program can be 'ghosted' onto the classroom machines from the server, another saving in installation time.

DISADVANTAGES: If network access is not available when off campus, a stand-alone version will have to be installed on the teacher's computer but BOTH versions, network (SCEW) and stand-alone, (SCEE) CAN'T be installed on the same computer.

To overcome this, a network computer in the classroom would have to be used by the teacher, but for off-campus work, another computer with a stand-alone version of Sibelius installed would have to be used.  If you need advice on this matter, please contact me - JohnO  john@musitech.co.nz

* Mac users please note: OS X 10.2.8 / 10.3.4 / 10.4 or later req.
* Windows 98SE / ME / 2000 / XP; VISTA or later req . Pentium or faster req.

 

Sibelius First 6

To compare Sibelius First with Sibelius V6 click on this icon above.

A new 'cut-down' version of Sibelius V6 at $280 incl GST and postage!

This version would suit students who don't intend to study music at university but would like to compose and arrange music while studying at school and perhaps after they leave.

It would also be a valuable resource for primary and intermediate schools as well as studio teachers and their senior students.

Computer requirements:

Windows: XP SP2/Vista, 512 Mb+RAM, 300 Mb hard disk space, CD-ROM drive.

Mac: OS X 10.4.9 or later or 10.5, 512 Mb+RAM, 300Mb hard disk space, CD-ROM drive.

Important News – The SCEM Stand-alone Sibelius licencing scheme

To date, Sibelius programs have been available as:

SCEP = Professional single

SCEE = Educational single, and Teachers' and Students' specially priced singles

SCEF = Five packs (stand-alone) for educational institutions. (This licence is only available in multiples of five.)

SCEW = Network version for educational institutions. (This licence can be any number, five or more.)

 

Now there is an optional NEW method of licencing Sibelius programs for educational institutions called SCEM - Multiple stand-alone copies, for five copies or more.  Sibelius SCEM Multiple-copy licences can be extended by any number from five programs upwards. For example, a current licence of 15, ie three five-pack programs, could be extended using the new SCEM scheme to say 18 copies. Sometime later the licence could be further extended by a further two, or indeed, any number of programs. 

 

The SCEM licencing can be done when purchasing Sibelius for the first time, or when upgrading and/or extending a current licence.
NB Upgrading = upgrading from one version to a newer version. Extending = extending or upsizing the number of programs in a licence.

 

The advantage of SCEM licences is the use of one CD-ROM with one serial number. Therefore to extend the licence in the future, all that needs to be done is to quote the SCEM serial number to MusiTech and the number of new programs required.  To extend the licence of a current version only, there would be no new package to receive and the licence extension can happen overnight with the Sibelius UK database being updated by MusiTech with the new number of programs for your school. There would be a new package (CD-ROM, Manual etc) if an upgrade to the newest version were to be carried out during the conversion to SCEM.

 

The disadvantage is that in future the whole licence would have to be upgraded at once, as there is only one serial number, whereas currently five-packs can be upgraded at different times to remain within budget limits. This old method of course would mean that there would be more than one version running in a classroom at one time.  (Sibelius Version 4 can Save back to Version 3 or 2.)

 

The pricing of the SCEM programs is the same as for network licences where the more you have the cheaper the unit price.  Examples: To extend from 5 to 7 programs would cost $560, ie a unit price of $280, and to extend from 20 to 27 programs the cost would be $1660, or a unit price of $237.  Upgrades to Version 4 can be done at the same time: 6-19 copies $125 each; 20 or more copies $110 each. 
All prices quoted are ex GST.

 

To change over to the new SCEM licencing method, please send to MusiTech the version and serial number/s of your current Sibelius licence and the total number of programs required. If you have any queries about this new scheme, please contact JohnO at: john@musitech.co.nz
