Can I Use Your Software in my Commercial Business? How Much is a Site/Business License? Are there Special Benefits?

Our software is free/donationware for personal use.  If you are running your own small home business, we consider that the same thing (as fellow voyagers in the world of small home businesses we know how hard it can be).

But if you are running a real business with more than one or two non-family employees, we do expect you to purchase a Site/Business License for the program you will be using.

[*CLARIFICATION 5/4/09] If you are simply an individual using the program at work, it doesn't matter if you are a member of a large business -- you do not need a formal commercial license (unless the program specifically says a commercial license is required for all profit making use).  Commercial Licenses are normally intended for the situation where many people at your business all use the program.

What's the Price of a Commercial/Business/Site License?

The price of the Site/Business License will depend on the size of the business or the number of computers that will be simultaneously using our software.  Rest assured that keeping with our general approach - you will find our site license prices more reasonable than the normal market price and with better support.

Are there Special Benefits of a Commercial/Business/Site License?

Yes. All Commercial License holders will receive priority support from us.  We know that as a business, you rely on being able to get quick help with your problems, and you need to know that if you run into trouble you will be able to get in touch with someone quickly who knows how to solve your problem.  Commercial License holders will be in contact with the programmers of the software on an expedited basis.  We also know that sometimes as a business you may have need for custom work.  We are always available to do custom extensions to our software to meet your needs, at reasonable rates.

The SOHO / small home business exception is great! Thanks!
