Licensing FAQ Minimize
 

The terms of our license agreement are fully outlined in our EULA.

Though the Questions and Answers listed below in no way replace the terms defined within product EULAs, we hope they will help explain some of the terms/concepts contained within the license agreement. If you have questions regarding our license, please, do let us know.

1. What am I paying for when buying Neoforce Controls Source?
Neoforce Controls Source is sold based on a subscription model. This means that when you purchase this product, you receive 12 months of free updates for that product from the date of purchase – be it a minor update or a major new version. After the 12 month period you can pay lowered price to "renew" the subscription and receive another 12 months of free updates. If you choose not to renew, you can continue using the last version you obtained or are eligible to use. The 12 month time frame is merely for new versions/updates and has no relevance to rights of use (as long as the EULA is not violated).

2. Is your license on a per-developer basis?
Yes. Each developer who uses Neoforce Controls source code to develop an application or extend Neoforce Controls itself must obtain a license.

3. Can I continue to use the products contained within a subscription if the subscription expires and I choose not to renew?
Absolutely. You can continue to use products which you have licensed and paid for. When a subscription expires, it simply means that you will no longer be issued any product updates or new product releases.

4. I have a build machine. Do I have to purchase a license to the software for a build machine?
If no development is performed on the build machine and its sole purpose is to generate actual builds of your products, then you do not need to purchase a separate license for the build machine. If however a developer uses the build machine for active development and this developer does not have a valid license to the products, then yes, he or she must acquire a license to said product.

5. Do I have to pay you royalties when using Neoforce Controls?
We do not charge any royalties for redistribution of components that have been integrated into applications which you develop. Of course, this only applies if you have a valid license to all products which are being used within your application.

6. I plan on modifying your source code. Will I be able to do that and redistribute the modified libraries?
Absolutely. You can modify our source code and redistribute the modified libraries. This does not apply to situations in which you are modifying our code and repackaging our controls and selling competing controls. All modified assemblies have to remain its original name and file description header. Please consult our EULA for additional information.
