Instant Computer Solutions Ltd. Provides several licensing
schemes for commercial users. If you are a commercial
organisation
using InstantDB, either directly or indirectly, then you
are required to purchase a license. If in doubt, contact
ICS. Read the
commercial license agreement for
details of what is covered.
- Workstation Licenses
For the purposes of this license, a workstation is any computer on
which InstantDB is installed and can only be used by a single person
at any one time.
A license is required for each PC or workstation on which InstantDB
is installed. Workstation licenses cost $19 each. $199 buys the right
to an unlimited number of installations at a given site and $799
buys the right to use InstantDB on an unlimited number of workstations
worldwide.
Workstation licenses also act as developer licenses.
- Server Licenses
For the purposes of this license, a server is any computer on
which InstantDB is installed and which could potentially be accessed
by multiple users simultaneously.
A server license covers an installation of InstantDB on a single server.
Server licenses cost $99. A server is permitted an unlimited number of
simultaneous connections.
For $399 InstantDB can be installed on an unlimited number of servers
at a given site, and for $1,399 InstantDB can be installed on an
unlimited number of servers wordlwide.
- Distribution Licenses
For the purposes of this license, a product is any piece of
software marketed under its own name.
InstantDB can be distributed as part of another product. The cost of
this license is dependent on the number of units shipped. For low volume
products (less than 100 units) the cost is $749. Higher volume
products (100 units or more) must pay $1,399.
Upgrades from the low to
high volume license are available on request and subject to paying the
difference between the two.
Royalty based licenses can also be arranged upon request.
- Source Code Licenses
Distributers relying on InstantDB may wish to have access to the source
code in order to provide support. Source code licenses can be purchased
for $1,399.
Source code is only made available to those who also purchase a
distribution license and is provided for support purposes only.
Commercial organisations may evaluate InstantDB for free for
a reasonable period of time. Developing a product
with InstantDB requires the purchase of sufficient workstation
and server licenses to cover all systems on which InstantDB
is installed.
All costs are quoted in US dollars, however invoices
can be issued in any currency. The above licensing schemes
are illustrative only and can be tailored to individual requirements
as necessary.
All license fees are conditional upon acceptance of the standard
license terms and conditions.
Corporate purchasing departments wishing to negotiate alternative
terms will be charged a $2,000 surcharge.
