How Many Licenses To Order?

Each license covers one pair of a domain name and a server. It means that if you have several domains or several servers (including servers behind of the load balancing device), you need as many licenses as many servers or domains you have whichever number is greater.

For better understanding, here are a couple of examples:

1. If you have 4 servers behind a load balancing unit and 2 domains, you need 4 licenses.
2. If you have 2 separate servers and 5 domains (e.g. 3 domains on one server and 2 domains on another), you need 5 licenses.

The license for the Premium edition is an exception of the rule described above. Unlike Express/Professional/Print edition, there is no difference how many domains are used with the Premium edition. So the number of Premium licenses you need is calculated even simpler - you need as many licenses as many servers you will use for uploads.

Non-production Environment Licenses

Apparently, you are going to use Image Uploader not only in the production environment on your live website, but also on the pre-production stage. So you may need licenses for your development, test or staging servers. You may wonder whether you need to get licenses for that.

Depending on the Image Uploader edition, you may receive several free non-production licenses per each purchased production license:

If it is not enough, you can order additional non-production licenses for 50% of the license price. Just contact our sales team if it is required.

Maintenance Subscription

For each edition besides of Express you can purchase a maintenance subscription. What is it and why you may want to order it is described in a little FAQ below.

Q: What is the maintenance subscription and why should I buy it?

Maintenance subscription is an annual fee which you pay to receive free updates within the maintenance period. Without maintenance subscription you will have to purchase a new license to receive an updated version. So the maintenance subscription allows saving significant amounts if you plan to keep Image Uploader up-to-date at least once in a few years.

Q: What is the maintenance period?

The maintenance period is one year. In the end of this year you can extend the maintenance period for one more year instead of purchasing a new license.

Q: Is it possible to purchase a maintenance for a longer period?

Yes. Contact our sales team for more details.

Q: Do I get both major and minor updates?

Yes, you will get any update released within the maintenance period regardless to the version number. 

Q: Do I get any other benefits?

Yes, with maintenance you will be eligible to submit unlimited number of support cases in our help desk system and our tech support engineers will handle them with high level of priority.
