1. How is ChartDirector
licensed?
We offer two types of license:
|
The ChartDirector Developer
License grants the right to use the ChartDirector on one computer
for any purpose (e.g., development and production). |
|
The ChartDirector Redistribute License grants
the right to embed the ChartDirector runtime in a product or system
that is not for ChartDirector software development, and to
redistribute that product or system to unlimited number of computers
without further royalties to ASE. |
2. What type of license do I
need?
If you have one or a few computers (less than 5)
using ChartDirector, the best option is to purchase one ChartDirector
Developer license per computer. The "Developer License" is good for
development and production use.
If you deploy your software to a large number of
computers, you need the ChartDirector Redistribute License. This license
is for redistributing the ChartDirector runtime to an unlimited number of
computers.
Note that the ChartDirector Redistribute License
is for the ChartDirector runtime only and is not for ChartDirector
development use. Each computer that performs development using
ChartDirector still needs a ChartDirector Developer License.
If you deploy your software to just a few
computers, it may be more economical to use one ChartDirector Developer
License per computer, rather than to use the ChartDirector Redistribute
License.
3. My development server and
production server are the same computer. Do I need one or two
licenses?
Since there is only one computer, one
ChartDirector Developer License is needed. The "Developer License" is also
good for production use.
4. ChartDirector is running on a
single web server only. Multiple developers are developing software on
that server. How many licenses are needed?
Since there is only one computer running
ChartDirector, one ChartDirector Developer License is needed. You can have
as many developers as you like.
5. How to define if
ChartDirector is "running" on a computer or not?
ChartDirector is "running" on a computer if the
computer's CPU is executing ChartDirector software.
6. I use multiple versions of
ChartDirector (PHP, ASP, etc.) on the same computer. How many licenses are
required?
Since there is only one computer running
ChartDirector, one ChartDirector Developer License is needed.
7. What is your upgrade policy?
All ChartDirector licenses include one year free
upgrade, and we guarantee for at least one upgrade. In other words, if no
new software version comes out within the 1 year upgrade period, the
upgrade period will be extended until a new version is available.
(However, from our past release history, the time between version releases
was always less than one year.)
