This includes incorporating your spash screen, your name and phone number on main window, your name and phone number on the main help screen, your logo as the icon for the software and some other references to you.

Option 1 - Blanket license for Unlimited Use in a Country / State

Under this option you pay a monthly fee to have an unlimited blanket license to use the software for your own clients. All applications (the IMS and IAP) can be used under this license. It includes full email technical support and upgrades for all major versions of the software.

Discounts apply for payment 6 months in advance (10%) or 12 months in advance (20%).

Important: You may use this blanket license only for clients for whom your own company provides other services. You may not on-sell the registrations obtained under a blanket license to resellers. You may not sell registrations obtained under a blanket license alone.

Blanket licenses are most suitable because you can supply an unlimited number of licenses and they are easy to use.

This option only applies if you do not purchase a blanket license (see option 1).

If you wish to sell licenses of our software to your customers (not for your own use), we will open an account which will give you 20% discount on the online discounted prices (which is 120% on the normal RRP).
