Types of Licenses
This page is a copy of the original page on the AVObjects' web site and can also be viewed here.
This article provides a detailed comparison of our two main licensing options.
Overview of Licensing Terms
There are two primary types of licenses:
- The Single Developer or Team license. This license grants the Licensee with the right to use the Product (for example, Multimedia SDK) by either one developer (Single Developer License) or 1-4 developers (Team License). There is no limitation on the number of executable applications, and no limitation on the number of deployed or redistributed copies. So, for the Single Developer license, one developer at a time can work with the SDK, but you can redistribute copies of the application(s) you develop with the SDK unlimited and royalty-free. In case you have a Team license, up to 4 developers can work with the SDK at the same time.
- The Single Application license. This license grants the Licensee with the right to use the Product to develop one executable application. The number of developers, depployments or redistributed copies is not limited. To understand better what can be considered as one executable application, please read a more detailed faq post here.
For better understanding here's a comparison table.
| Single Developer License | Team License | Single Application License | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of developers and/or development computers | 1 | 4 | Unlimited |
| Number of test computers | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Number of applications | Unlimited | Unlimited | 1 |
| Deployment or redistribution | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Updates & Support
We supply a 1 year subscription for updates and support with both the Single Developer/Team and Single Application licenses. The price of subsciption renewal is 50% the full list price of the Product at the moment of renewal. Renewing the subscription is optional but the 50% discount is valid for only 6 months after subscription expiration.
Delivery
After purchasing the license you will receive a set of license files and activation instructions. Delivery is made via email.
Before the license keys can be delivered we ask the customer to provide at least two email contacts. The first (technical contact) will be used to deliver the license files and, in the future, will periodically receive email notifications about new releases of the licensed product (including information about bug fixes and new features). The Licensee agrees that at least one email address will be provided and will be receiving such mailings in order for MediaLooks to make sure the Licensee is informed about the Product's changes. 7 days before and upon subscription expiration we will send a note to this contact informing about the option to renew the subscription.
The second contact will only be used to inform about subscription expiration.
Both email contact, however, may be occasionally used to provide the customer with information about new and related products.
Upon delivery of the license keys the Licensee's email address (or several addresses) will be associated with his license and periodical mailings with information about new releases (including) will be made.
Common Questions
Does the Single Developer License mean that only one person in our company can use the SDK at the same time and that there is no restriction for the applications that are created and redistributed?
Yes, that is correct in case you purchase a Single Developer License. In case you purchase a Team license, up to 4 developers can work with the SDK at the same time. And нes, there is no restriction to the number of applications that you develop with the SDK, and you can redistribute them royalty-free.
