We have Huygens Pro (Ver 17.XX) in one our computer and that computer went down recently because of some hardware issues. We wanted to switch that version over to a new computer. When I contacted Huygens, they wanted so called “Migration Fee” of $399 for license string! Btw, we have two other commercial programs VOLOCITY and IMARIS. Both companies DO NOT charge anything for changing computers. In my view, this charge from HUYGENS is very unfair. The buyer, who already paid for the software, should decide where he/she wants to run the software. I would like to know any other companies have similar practices. Thanks in advance for your response.

As George kindly mentioned, Hyvolution2 includes "the SVI Huygens software under the hood". New Leica customers are now offered another option in LASX that does NO LONGER involve the Huygens software and SVI.

Like before, we also keep offering Huygens for the latest microscope types and file formats. Also the new and fully automated on-the-fly deconvolution tool "Batch Express" will offer this functionality.
