License Options

First thing to know is that two versions of the Product exist, to know an Evaluation Version and a Production Version. The differences between them are described in the API Overview. We offer several free license options for the Evaluation Version, whereas the Production Version only has paying licenses. For the exact conditions we refer you to our License Agreement, also accessible via the download page

Description

1. Free Private License

   We encourage private individual users to use the Cramfull Compiled Resources library for the pursuit of knowledge and of pleasure. We rather have you use our software without paying for it, than have you not use our software without paying for it. But if you want to get rid of the evaluation version restrictions, you are welcome to buy a Single User License.
   (see license terms)

2. Free Distribution License

   We owe many thanks to the distributors of software and other shareware sites, and they deserve this special license option to enable them to do their work.
   (see license terms)

3. Free Development License

   We value your development effort high enough to not force you to invest extra money in licenses for your developpers. Once your product is ready, their are three options.
   1. Your software is meant for in-house use: in this case you should purchase the appropriate number of Single User or Concurrent User Licenses for your end users.
   2. You distribute shareware-type software to third parties: we still don't want you to invest money in Cramfull Compiled Resources licenses, as we understand that you may still receive no money. Your end users are granted a free Evaluation License, on condition that you enable them to replace the Evaluation Version with the Production Version of the Cramfull Compiled Resources library, and encourage them to purchase a payed license for it.
   3. You are prepared to pay once and for all your end users for a Redistribution License.

4. Free Evaluation License

   This holds the usual free 30 day evaluation period, though for a "programmers" product like the Cramfull Compiled Resources library this option is mainly meant to allow shareware developpers to distribute their software without investing their money in Cramfull Compiled Resources licenses beforehand: the programmer should work under the Free Development License, while his end users are granted a Free Evalutation License to test his software with the Cramfull Compiled Resources library (see also Free Development License).
   (see license terms)

5. Single User License

   Allows a single individual to use the Cramfull Compiled Resources library. You should purchase Single User Licenses for each regular user of the Cramfull Compiled Resources library.
   (see license terms)

6. Concurrent User License

   Allows one unspecified user at a time to use the Cramfull Compiled Resources library. You should consider Concurrent User Licenses as a pool from which occasional users of the Cramfull Compiled Resources library can draw one while needed. The number of concurrent users, not counting the users holding a Single User License, should not at any time exceed the number of purchased Concurrent User Licenses.

   For using the Cramfull Compiled Resources library via a Java Applet embedded in an HTML document on an Internet website, we accept the average number of monthly page hits divided by 2000 as an estimate of the number of concurrent users.
   (see license terms)

7. Redistribution License

   This allows you to distribute your software that uses the Cramfull Compiled Resources library without paying any further per copy royalties.
