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. Is this license a floating license?
No. The license is not a floating license - it is a named developer license. You must purchase a separate license for each developer who wishes to use the product.

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?
If you are developing software for a client/customer, you need separate developer licenses for each client/customer if ANY of the following is true:

The intellectual property for the developed software will be owned by the client/customer.
OR
You will transfer the developed software's source code to the client/customer.
OR
The client/customer will need to directly use OUR product for any reason.

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.

Q. Can I use the license on more than computer?
Our products are licensed per developer and each developer license can be installed and used on upto 2 machines (including virtual machines - example, 1 desktop + 1 laptop or 1 desktop + 1 VM within that desktop) as long as the SAME developer uses the license on both machines.

You can still renew and reactivate it it by using the "Subscription Renewal" option - as mentioned above, the renewal will take effect from the end date of the expired/current subscription, regardless of when the renewal is purchased.
