FAQ: Licence
| Updates: What do cost me small updates (e.g., from version 5.21 on 5.55) and how do I get them? | Small updates and upgrades within a main version number (e.g. 5.x) are free for users of the full version. You can download your updates from our customers download area. As a licensed user you get new features within the big version number for free.
Example: You have purchased ActiveBarcode 5.21 Standard. You can download all future 5.x Standard version updates free of charge, e.g. version 5.55 Standard. Beginning with version 6.0 you must pay for an update.

| Demo-Windows: How can I stop the demo-windows? | Order the license for ActiveBarcode and you'll get a personal serial number from us that allows you to switch the demo version info a full featured ONE USER license version. When you enter your valid serial number ActiveBarcode creates your personal barcode.lic file that represents your license to your \system folder or on WinNT the \system32 folder. This is the place where the barcode.ocx should be installed. If barcode.lic is installed in this folder the demo screens will disappear. There is no need to give the LIC-file and/or the serial number to third parties. You are not allowed to give away the LIC-file and/or your serial number to others!
|
| Developers: How can developers use the ActiveBarcode control? | It is the same for developers: order the license. Once you have a valid serial number you can register ActiveBarcode and create the LIC-file that enables your development tool (Visual Basic, Visual C++ or others) to build applications containing the ActiveBarcode control. You only have to give your EXE-file and the OCX-Control away to your customers. The LIC-file remains on your PC in every case. You are not allowed to give away your personal serial number and/or the LIC-file to others! On the customers' side the control without the LIC-file reacts like an unregistered shareware version but if your EXE-File uses it, there are no nag screens in the control (your EXE-files handle the control as if there is a LIC-file on the customers PC).
|
| Developers: For developers who create EXE files. | With the lic file on your computer you can compile programs using the barcode.ocx on the customers computer as if he has the LIC-file. Your exe "knows" that the LIC-file was on your computer when you compiled your program - so the customer does not need the LIC-file. You can give ActiveBarcode WITHOUT the LIC-file to the customer. When they use ActiveBarcode from your exe program they will not see shareware screens. But if they use ActiveBarcode from a program other than yours, shareware screens will be visible because they do not have a LIC-file. You see: You only have to install the LIC-file on YOUR computer!
|
| Developers: For developers who cannot create EXE files. | If you use a development tool that cannot create EXE files like Access97 or if you develop an Internet/Intranet solution, you have to order a license (in form of a LIC-file) for each PC on which ActiveBarcode will run. Therefore we have multi-user-licenses.
|
| Reseller prices: Last few days a client ask me about your program. Do you offer special prices for resellers? How i can buy? | You can order licenses online at our site. We don't offer reseller prices. If you want to purchase a license for a customer, please send an EMail containing the address of your customer to us before you order online. The license will be generated for your customer then.
|
| Updates: I have purchased the Standard Edition and would like to upgrade to the Enterprise Edition. Does this go? What costs this? | You can order this upgrade in our online shop. You only pay the price difference between both versions. Possibly add p&p.
|
| ProvideX: I use ActiveBarcode in my application created with ProvideX and would like to distribute this. Which license is the right one for me? | ProvideX offers you both possibilities. You can use an user's license on every PC or you can use a developer license (Enterprise edition).
If you like to work with user's licenses, e.g. if you sell your product only once, you do not need to adapt your application for the license.
If you use the developer license, you must customize your program so that you integrate the license into the product. Other compilers make this automatic (Visual BASIC, etc.). With ProvideX must carry out this once even by hand.
