SoftArtisans Licensing Information

<h1>SoftArtisans Licensing Information</h1>

SoftArtisans software is licensed and priced on a PER SERVER or PER SERVER CPU basis.
A server license or CPU license is required on each server or server CPU where SoftArtisans software is installed. An additional license is required for every development PC where the product is installed. There are no per-user, per IP address or per Web site licenses. EVERY SERVER and DEVELOPMENT PC where SoftArtisans software is installed requires its own license, even if it is a test machine. ExcelWriter Desktop licensing is per-development PC. There are no runtime royalties.

Multiple Server Licenses
SoftArtisans offers discounted value packs for multiple server licenses: a 10 pack, 25 pack, 50 pack, etc. For higher volume pricing, please contact our sales team for a quote:

  • Toll-free in the US: 1-877-SOFTART
  • From elsewhere: +1-617-738-0777
  • Fax: +1-617-738-6278
  • Email: sales@softartisans.com
SoftArtisans Client-side Products are Licensed Per Server
SoftArtisans client-side tools, such as XFile and JFile, are also licensed per server. There are no per-client fees. When client-side tools are loaded, a dialog box is displayed asking the user's permission to install and run the client-side software.

Developer Edition Licenses
For ExcelWriter application developers, SoftArtisans offers ExcelWriter-developer and ExcelWriterLE-developer edition licenses. The ExcelWriter and ExcelWriterLE developer licenses offer the same functionality as the server licenses but are limited to only a single spreadsheet created at one time, which is the typical development environment. SoftArtisans offers ExcelWriter-developer licenses so that customers do not have to purchase additional full licenses for development machines. Server license(s) are required to deploy an ExcelWriter application.

SoftArtisans Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) Program
If you are interested in bundling a SoftArtisans component into your application product for resale or distribution, you must have a valid, signed, and fully paid OEM agreement with SoftArtisans. Please see the SoftArtisans OEM program for more information.

Redistribution of SoftArtisans Free Components
Redistribution of SoftArtisans free components, such as SMTPmailFree, is not allowed without SoftArtisans expressed written permission.

Customers Who Previously Purchased a Site License
Site licenses and site license renewals are no longer available. Upon expiration of the site license, customers may upgrade to the equivalent number of server licenses at a significant discount. Contact SoftArtisans sales for assistance.

Price Information
Please see the specific product pages for license pricing information.

SoftArtisans licensing structure is subject to change without notice.
Please contact us if you have further questions about licensing.
