Licensing

ISPG Runtime, developer edition, and a large part of ISPG IDE, can be used for free.

Advanced features of ISPG IDE requires a IDE machine license, after a 30 days trial period.

• • runtime machine license, alowing to host an unlimited number of web sites an a server, regardless of their domain, or
    
  • runtime domain license, allowing to host a web sites for the same domain on multiple servers.

  The two types of server licenses should be choosen according to the type of use: web hosting companies may prefer using server machine licenses, while companies hosting websites for only one domain will probably prefer a domain license.

The main difference between machine licenses and domain licenses is that the later can be copied and used on many machines, but machine licenses are generated using an activation process, and are bound to the specific machine for which they were generated. Transfers are explaind below.

Only registerd users can buy and manage licenses associated with their account. 

License Expiration

Licenses can be purchased in a number of monthly installments ($9.99USD), as described in our Pricing and Return Policy. After a speciffic number of payments (dependent of license type: 12 for IDE, 24 for domain and 36 for server), the license issued will not have an expiration date, becoming perpetual, and no more charges will be applied.

To purchase a license:

• Register and log in to your account.
• Select the type of license you need and enter payment information.
• After checkout you will be directed to download the license.

The license will be valid two month from current date (rounded to begining of next month if a current date is 29, 30 or 31-th of the month). The charge for the license will be applied one month from current date (rounded as above) and will be a reccurent monthly charge.

The reccurent monthly charges can be stopped at any time, from your account management page. Because of the overlap in validity of the current license and the previous one, you efectively have a free month in advance, each time.

License transfers

A special procedure must be used to transfer a machine license to another machine. You must log in to your account and initiate a licens transfer. You will need to provide the activation key of the new machine and a new license will be issued.

There is a limited number of transfers allowed:

Domain licenses can be copied and used on any number of computers.
