Licensing Terms

Starting from June 1, 2010 RealObjects offers edit-on Pro under a CPU license scheme only. Please review also the edit-on Pro Licensing FAQs to learn more about this particular license modell.

CPU License Use the Software in an Intranet/Extranet, or over Internet installation with non-anonymous or anonymous users. The use is limited to the number of CPU licenses bought with/for the Software. One CPU license is required for each CPU of the server(s) running your application/system which embeds edit-on Pro. It does not matter how edit-on Pro is technically separated from your application/system. Regardless of where or how edit-on Pro is loaded, all CPUs that serve the application/system which embeds edit-on Pro have to be licensed. The CPU License is valid for 1 (one) CPU, and licenses for additional CPUs can be bought in license packs with 1 (one) CPU license each. A CPU license includes access for an unlimited number of users to connect from either inside the corporate local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), or outside the firewall.

The CPU license also matches the needs of Application Service Providers (ASP). An ASP is a service firm which deploys, manages, and delivers application capabilities to multiple entities from a data center, across a wide area network, and/or through centrally-located server(s) in a "rental" or lease agreement.

For detailed information please review the "CPU definition" within the edit-on Pro Software License Agreement.

It is optional for year 2 and beyond. You can renew the 1 Year Support & Maintenance until the end of the subscription period. The cost of renewing is 30% of the software license fee on the renewal date.
