Overview |
|
All VIBlend .NET Windows Forms and Silverlight products
are licensed per-developer seat based on an annual subscription model. This means
that you get 12 months of priority technical support and free upgrades (both minor
and major versions). The 12 months time frame starts from the date of purchase.
At the end of the 12 months period you can choose, at your discretion, to pay 50%
of the original purchase price to “renew” the subscription and receive another 12
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 50 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 12 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 VIBlend controls 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.
|
|
Can I purchase the source code? |
|
You can obtain a license that includes the full source code. Our products (both source code and binary versions) are licensed and not sold. If you are interested in obtaining a license that includes the source code contact us at: sales@viblend.com
|
|
I need to modify the source code and redistribute the modified assemblies with my application. Can I do that? |
|
Yes. You can make modifications to our source code and redistribute the modified libraries with your products. However, you cannot use any portion of our software to build and offer competing products or software solutions. This restriction applies both to source code and binary licenses.
