You can’t buy our fonts. (But you can license them.) Shouting to your coworker, “That font is so fly! I’m gonna buy it!” sounds a little less lame than, “That font is so fly! I’m gonna license it for limited use!” but really, that’s what you’re doing when you hand over money for font software. You license the font from the manufacturer (or foundry) for use on a specific number of workstations. Usually the base license is for 1–5 users, though it varies from foundry to foundry. Fonts for the Full Firm So what do you do if more than five people in the office need to work with the font? Buy multiple single licenses? You could, but that would be a waste of time and money. Behold the MUL (Multiuser License). With the appropriate MUL, you can download a font once and install it on every machine in the office. While you save your clicker finger, you’ll also save a bunch of cash. Most foundries offer substantial volume discounts. The more users you license, the cheaper each user’s license becomes. Purchasing an MUL on FontShop.com is easy. After adding a font to your cart you’ll be asked for the number of CPUs (users) you need to be licensed. The examples above show how much you can save with Multiuser Licensing. FF Meta Book is priced at $40 for 5 users. That’s $8 per user. The same font costs less than a $1 per user when 1,000 users are licensed. You can save even more when purchasing packages. FF Meta 1 includes FF Meta Book, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, and Small Caps for both weights. The cost of licensing these fonts as a package is much cheaper per user than when purchasing these fonts seperately. (All prices are for PS/TT formats.) We Can Help Still confused? No problem. That’s why we have licensing experts Jeff and Ivan sitting at their desk, waiting for you to call with MUL questions: 1-888-FF-FONTS. We’ve helped companies large (Infiniti and Aflac) and small (Cleveland Clinic) sort out their licensing needs. So whether you’ve rebranded a startup with a new identity typeface or want to outfit a larger company with a standard font across multiple locations, we can make the job as painless as possible. In the next Savvy FontShopper we’ll talk about how The Cleveland Clinic worked with FontShop to license their entire outfit.		Did you guess the font hinted at in the February calendar? It was Salut™.
