TALLY SYSTEMS ENHANCES METERING PRODUCT
CentaMeter--Beyond Basic Metering

HANOVER, NH--November 3, 1994--Tally Systems will be releasing CentaMeter
2.0 in December. Enhancements to the software license management and
metering package include suite metering and suite license optimization,
DOS client support, software version differentiation, and application
inactivity tracking.

CentaMeter is a software license management and metering tool that monitors
license compliance and optimizes software usage for both network and
locally installed software packages. CentaMeter enables enforcement of
license terms for concurrent and site license agreements. The Software
Publishers Association (SPA) accepts CentaMeter reports for the purpose of
assessing software license compliance.

CentaMeter 1.0 provides administrators with the opportunity to go far
beyond the realm of basic metering and 2.0 further enhances that mission.
CentaMeter's sophisticated management features automatically handle the
day-to-day demands for application licenses and provide license management
capabilities. CentaMeter 2.0 features:

  Suite Metering
  Suite License Optimization
  Software Version Identification
  Group License Allocation
  VIP Access
  Application Inactivity Tracking
  WAN Management Capabilities
  Active or Passive Metering Option
  License Availability Time Periods
  Inactivity Reminders

CentaMeter is NOS-independent, running on any PC LAN that supports file
sharing and record locking, such as Novell NetWare (3.x and 4.x), Banyan
Vines, Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, Windows for Workgroups, and
LAN Manager, DEC Pathworks, and Artisoft LANtastic.

CentaMeter 2.0, available in December, is licensed on a per PC basis.
Prices range from $11.75 to $9.00 per PC for 101 to 1,000 PCs. For
licensing over 1,000 PCs, contact Tally Systems for a quote. CentaMeter

license compliance tasks with NetCensus, Tally Systems' NOS-independent

software components on networked and stand-alone PCs, Macs and servers.
