Modular Application System for Internal Use
A customer is developing a system for internal use. The system is composed of multiple software modules. Each module was developed with LEADTOOLS, but all modules are part of the same internal system. LEAD considers the system and all of its component modules to be one "application" for licensing purposes.
Application Suite for External Sale
A customer develops a "suite" of applications that are always sold as a suite. LEAD considers the suite to be a single application for licensing purposes.
Evaluation and "Light" Application Versions
A customer develops an evaluation version or a light version of its application. LEAD does not require a separate license for the evaluation/lite version.
New Versions and Updates of Existing Applications
A customer develops a new version of or update to an existing application. LEAD does not consider the update or new version to require an additional license.
Same Software Engine, Multiple Products
A customer develops a software engine that is contained in two products that are sold separately. In this case, the customer must buy a license for each product, even if the engine is basically the same in each of the separate products. For example, if a consultant develops an application for one customer, and then subsequently develops a similar application for another customer, a second license would be required.
Upgrades Are Not Counted as Additional Development Licenses
A LEAD product version or platform upgrade does not count as a second toolkit for the above-described purposes. For example, if a customer originally licensed LEADTOOLS Version 12, then later ordered an upgrade to Version 16, the customer holds only one product license. If two programmers using the LEAD product, or two applications have been developed using the LEAD product, a second toolkit development license must be purchased.
Unlimited Enterprise Licenses
LEAD offers an Enterprise License for organizations requiring an unlimited license. An Enterprise License allows the customer to use the LEADTOOLS SDK for the development of an unlimited number of end user applications. Please contact oemsales@leadtools.com if you are interested in obtaining an Enterprise License.
