PerkinElmer markets three suites with the word |

"Ultra" |
...
in |
...
their |
...
names. |
...
This |
...
may |

explain |

the |

continued |

confusion |

folks |

communicating |

about |

There
...
are

significant

differences
...
between
...
"ChemBio3D
...
Ultra"
...
(what
...
is

currently
...
being
...
licensed

by

the
...
Library

-
...
thank
...
you

!)
...
and
...
"ChemBioDraw
...
Ultra",
...
which
...
is
...
the
...
product
...
some
...
folks
...
(and
...
web
...
sites)
...
at
...
the
...
Library
...
keep
...
stating
...
they
...
licensed

(see

announcement,

Note:

The

above

site
...
is
...
not
...
as
...
handy
...
as
...
the
...
...
PerkinElmer
...
made
...
available
...
before,
...
but
...
that
...
document
...
was
...
from
...
2012.
...
And
...
a
...
current
...
version
...
of
...
that
...
one-page
...
handout
...
is
...
apparently
...
no
...
longer
...
being
...
provided
...
by
...
PerkinElmer.
...
From
...
left-to-right
...
on

the
...
attached

PDF,
...
we
...
have:
...
(1)
...
What
...
the
...
Library
...
has
...
communicated
...
it
...
has
...
licensed
...
(ChemBioDraw
...
Ultra
...
13.0
...
Suite).
...
This
...
is
...
the
...
product
...
we've
...
had
...
access
...
to
...
for
...
many
...
years,
...
until
...
recently.
...
(2)
...
What
...
the
...
Library
...
is
...
actually
...
licensing
...
today
...
(ChemBio3D
...
Ultra
...
13.0
...
Suite).
...
Thank
...
you
...
!
...
(3)
...
What
...
CCB
...
licensed
...
under
...
duress
...
(ChemDraw
...
Std
...
13.0
...
Suite),
...
Fall
...
2013.
...
Hopefully
...
the
...
Library's
...
information
...
(on
...
its
...
blog
...
and
...
in
...
its
...
catalog
...
records)
...
will
...
have
...
the
...
product
...
name
...
match
...
the
...
licensing
...
to
...
reduce
...
confusion
...
and
...
prevent
...
unpleasant
...
surprises.
...
(In
...
winter
...
2013,
...
at
...
least,
...
both
...
locations
...
currently
...
state
...
CUL
...
has
...
licensed
...
ChemBioDraw
...
Ultra,
...
which
...
is
...
simply
...
not
...
correct.)
...
The
...
most
...
recent
...
communications
...
from
...
the
...
Library
...
(below)
...
was
...
initially
...
very
...
confusing
...
to
...
Oliver,
...
and
...
he
...
thought
...
that
...
it
...
may
...
be
...
confusing
...
to
...
others.
...
We
...
in
...
Chemistry
...
remain
...
very
...
appreciative
...
of
...
the
...
Library's
...
efforts
...
to
...
help
...
Chemistry
...
researchers
...
by
...
investing
...
in
...
this
...
software
...
