Each developer building applications requires a Developer License. Please note that each Aquaforest SDK Bundle purchase includes one developer license and one server runtime license. Additional developer licenses can be purchased for multiple developers and significant discounts are available - please contact sales@aquaforest.com for details.
In most cases all that is required is the purchase of a single developer license bundle which includes a server runtime license. However, if additional runtime servers are required then each requires a runtime license. A Server is defined as a physical or virtual machine that is used for automated unattended processing or to provide services to multiple end users.
For use within a single organization, the purchase of a development license bundle allows deployment to an unlimited number of desktops*. Please contact sales@aquaforest.com if you have additional requirements.
"Desktop" is defined as an "end-user" personal computer that may have Applications installed that utilize the Software. The Applications must NOT support unattended document processing. No more than 10 page images may be processed without requiring human intervention.
*For Aquaforest Standard OCR only if you require Desktop Runtime Licensing for the Extended OCR please contact sales@aquaforest.com.
In cases where the SDK is being used as a component within a business application that will be sold to multiple end customers then the Unlimited License Bundle may be the most suitable license. This allows an unlimited number of Developers & Runtimes for one business application.
