Excerpt

PerkinElmer markets four suites with the word "Ultra" in their names . This may explain the (continued?) confusion by folks communicating or learning about in their "ChemBioOffice v.14" suite. This contributes to confusion when trying to understand their products!


There are significant differences between what is included in “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 forwarded announcement, below)that has at one time been site-licensed at Cornell.

Also, there are more elements which work on a PC than work on a Mac. Details below.

ChemIT's characterization of the naming and licensing issues, as of August 2014

Summary of what is included in ChemBio3D Ultra, by platform, per above cited PDF

...

(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.
