SURPAC Software Brochure
The entry level SURPAC "Lite" Module is the only "stand alone" Module, and represents
the minimum software configuration for SURPAC Software.
Any of the other seven Modules may then be added to the SURPAC "Lite" Module , as
per Users' requirements.
The SURPAC "Lite" Module provides an ideal entry level suite of Survey Software
applications that covers the fundamental calculation and CAD requirements for most
Survey Offices.
The omission of specific applications found in the Conversions, Least Squares,
Topographical, Engineering, Mining and Cadastral Modules provides a cost effective
"starter" suite of applications.
Users having the SURPAC "Lite" Module may purchase any of the other seven Modules,
as and when required.

Leasing SURPAC provides Users the advantage of spreading their software costs over a period of time,
instead of having to pay the full amount "up front".
Leasing also allows Users to better evaluate their needs for SURPAC.
For example, a User could initially Lease a full SURPAC License for a 6 month period, which
includes the "Lite", Conversions, Least Squares, Topographical, Engineering and Cadastral
Modules. After this initial period, the User would have a better evaluation of SURPAC in relation to
his software requirements and could then, say, continue with a new Lease for only those Modules
suitable to his/her practice.

Prices are "once off" payments, made in advance, and cover the stipulated Lease Period
Prices are excluding a SURPAC Software Maintenance Contract (SMC).
An SMC may be purchased at an additional cost of 10% of the software leased.
Prices are in United States Dollars and are subject to change without notification.
For larger organizations, multiple SURPAC Licenses may be Leased. In this case, the following
discount structure will apply to the above prices :-
Special educational discounts apply for bona fide education institutions such as Universities,
