This page contains frequently asked questions about
pricing for the International Classes (IC).
Q: If you have multiple developers making calls to the IC libraries, would
you have to acquire a license for each of the developers?
A: Yes, you need to get a license for each of your developers who use
the libraries.
Q: Do three developer seats enable three developers to work on multiple products
on multiple platforms using the libraries for an indefinite period.
A: Yes. This enables full use of the source code, including modifications.
Q: What if I had a wrapper API that translated into an almost one-to-one call
to some of the IC routines?
A: This counts as exposing the API. Any product where an outside developer
can link to your libraries in order to get access to the IC APIs or equivalent
counts as exposing the APIs.
Q: What if three of my developers work on products that do expose the API,
while five developers only work on products that don't expose it?
A: You will need to buy three single API packages at $8,000 each, plus one non-API
20-pack for $8,000, for a total of $32,000.
Q: Does this price include support?
A: No. In order to make the IC libraries more accessible, the price has
been discounted by removing support and upgrades. However, you have a full
source license, and can freely modify the source to fix any defects you
find.
Q: How about upgrades?
A: Pricing for upgrades is yet to be determined, based upon the content.
