Table of Licenses

Independent Consultant

If you work for yourself, providing custom software systems for different clients, then all you need is a Single Developer license. This license allows you to buy the CSV Manager component once, and reuse the component as many times as you need, for as many clients as you like, and for as many projects for each client as you like. You do not need to pay each time.

Software Consultancy

Our licenses are designed to allow you to make single purchase. You can then use our components for an unlimited number of client projects. Your clients are not required to license the component separately. However, you do need to decide how many developers will use the component. If you can organise your development process so that only one developer at a time uses the component, the Single Developer license is the one to go for. On the other hand, if you need to flexibility to move team members around quickly, then the Developer Team license will cover up to 10 developers.

To guarantee full deliverablility to your clients you can also invest in our Full Source Code license, which gives you complete control over the software you deliver to your clients.
