2004 Key Change Schedule

Due to the increasing number of seawifs reception stations, it has been getting more and more difficult to have as many real-time licenses under the NASA-GeoEye contractual agreement as we have requests for.

One of the limiting factors is that GeoEye changes the keys every two weeks, so we can only give the licenses out in two-week blocks. For example, if we give you a license for cruise ends on 12/15/2004, no one else can use this license until 12/22/2004 because that's when the key change is. The end result is that we waste a license for 6 days.

So, in the interest of not wasting licenses we ask that you take the key change schedule into account when you make your requests.
