Subject: Status of MDA Milestone questons
Phyllis, we can pay royalties on a per System or Per Copy basis for the
Win 3.11 and Win 95 contracts. To get the lower, per System rate, we
must "Designate" models, and pay the royalty on all of those models that
ship ... whether they have the product on them or not. Because of the
difference in the royalty rates, all of our Win 95 and Win 3.11 machines
are Designated Systems and we pay Per System on them. The only time we
pay Per Copy should be when we mess up and don't get models designated
in time.
If the MDA Milestones are limited to Designated Systems, it won't
include RTC or OS/2 machines. That helps on most of the milestones.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Diane
