Licensing FAQ
Q. What does a 1 developer license or a 4-developer license mean?
The licensing of our controls is done on a per-developer basis. This means that a 1-developer license allows only 1 developer/programmer to use the control during application development. If a team consists of more than 1 developer who will be using the controls during application development, then a 4-developer, 8-developer or a site license is required. A site license allows any number of developers at a company's physical location to use the controls during application development.
Q. Do the products have a royalty or a runtime license?
No. The products do not have a runtime license nor is a royalty required for redistribution of the control binaries with your application. You can redistribute the control binaries with any number and copies of your applications to any number of end-users.
Q I/We are consultants/contractors using the products in our client's project. Can I reuse the license for another client?
No. You cannot use the same license(s) for developing projects for different clients. The license should be in the name of the client for whom you are developing the project. If you need to use the products in a project being developed for another client, you need a separate license in that client's name.
Q. The company where I work has a license for the controls. Can I use the controls at home?
No. The license is granted only for use by the company who purchased the license. A company license cannot be used at home and a license purchased in an individual's name cannot be used at work.
