Title: Understanding the difference between the several types of license (trial, single computer and integrator)

Trial License

  • Downloaded together with the software;
  • 90 days free trial;
  • No technical limitations.

No technical limitation means that its functionality is exactly the same you will find on the registered versions, except for the fact that a splash screen will pop up every initialization time, remembering you it's a trial license. After this trial period, you need to buy a Single-Computer or Integrator license to replace the trial one.

The software you develop with the trial license needs no modification in order to work the the registered licenses. After replacing the trial license with the registered one, the software will find it out.

Single Computer License

  • Downloaded from page License Management, after purchasing at Griaule's site;
  • Allowed to be used in only one computer;
  • No technical limitations.

Each computer will have a unique license. If you have less than 30 computers, this should be the license mode of your choice. These licenses will be issued to a person you specify, allowing easy deployment. Using a Single-User license in more than one computer at the same time is a violation of the license agreement.

Integrator License

  • Downloaded from page License Management, after purchasing at Griaule's site;
  • Allowed to be used in many computers*;
  • No technical limitations.

*Up to the number allowed by the purchased license.

This license facilitates even more the software deployment with Griaule's libraries. The Integrator license allows you, with a single purchase, to deploy the same license to many individual installations of your application up to the number of computers the purchased license indicates. You should choose this mode of licensing if you have a large number of clients that will be using your software or a large number of computers in your company.

The table below shows the products that have Integrator licenses available for purchasing.

Web application

If you have a web application developed using Griaule's SDK libraries, the right license for you is the Integrator. You must estimate the maximum number of computer will access your application and purchase a license according to this number.
