Licensing Frequently Asked Questions

Overview

SoftwareGFX Library is licensed per-developer seat based on a 6 months subscription model. This means that you get unlimited lifetime priority technical support and 6 months of free upgrades (both minor and major versions). The 6 months time frame starts from the date of purchase. At the end of the 6 months period you can choose, at your discretion, to pay 50% of the original purchase price to "renew" the subscription and receive another 6 months. If you decide not to renew your subscription, you can continue using the latest version you obtained before the subscription expired. You have the right to use it indefinitely as long as you comply with the EULA.

What is a per-developer licensing?

Each developer who uses our products must obtain a license. The developer may install and use the product on a primary computer, laptop or another computer as long as no one else will use the software on these machines. If you need more than one license we offer excellent volume discounts. In addition, if you want to obtain licenses for more than 10 developers you can purchase a Site License (per Office location) or an Enterprise License (per Company).

My annual subscription expired and I didn't renew. Can I renew it later?

Yes. You can renew you at any time after the 6 months period expires. The only difference is that you pay 75% of the purchase price instead of 50%.

Do I have to pay royalties if I use SoftwareGFX Library and components within my application?

We don't charge any royalties. Our licensing model is very simple and cost effective. We do not restrict the number of products you build and distribute. We license the software per developer seat only. You need a developer license for every software engineer who uses the product.

Do I need separate licenses for production and build machines?

No. The licensing is not per-machine and therefore you don't need additional licenses for production servers, test and build machines.

I need to modify the source code and redistribute the modified assemblies with my application. Can I purchase the source code and do that?

No. The source code is not for sale. We can create the desired graph and send you the new compiled version. If you are interested in doing that please contact us at sales@softwaregfx.com.
