How COMPRESS Is Licensed

COMPRESS is available as a single user license, network license or annual lease. The first year of support is included with each new license. After the initial support period you need only pay a renewal fee to keep your license(s) up-to-date. Support is included for the duration of all leases. Please Contact an Account Manager for full purchasing details.

• What's the difference between network and single user licensing?

  Network Licenses
  Network licensing is preferable in a corporate environment. One security key, attached to your server, manages all of your network licenses. Licenses can be accessed by all authorized users (computers) on your network. The number of simultaneous or concurrent software users is dependent on the number of network licenses purchased. Unlike other software packages, no daily time restrictions are placed on your network licenses (24 hr access).

  Single User Licenses and Leases
  Single user licensing or leasing is recommended when COMPRESS will be used on only one computer or when network access is unavailable (e.g. a laptop used offsite). Unlike other software packages, no daily time restrictions are placed on your licenses (24 hr access). Leases include 24 hr access for one year.

• How many computers can I install COMPRESS on?

  Network Licenses
  Network licenses are controlled by a USB security key attached to your server. Network licenses can be accessed or "checked out" by any authorized user (computer) connected to your network. Once a license is checked out, it cannot be accessed by others until the current user closes the program. For example, if you have five (5) COMPRESS licenses, up to five (5) people can be using the software at the same time.

  Single User Licenses and Leases
  Each single user COMPRESS license or lease is controlled by a USB security key. COMPRESS may be installed on multiple desktop or laptop computers but can only be accessed while the USB security key is attached.

• Can I upgrade a single user license to a network license?

  A single user license can easily be upgraded to a network license provided that you are current with your support. An upgrade fee and shipping charge (for your new network security key) applies.

• Can I apply lease payments to a full license purchase?

  We offer a "Lease-to-Own" plan. After leasing COMPRESS for three consecutive years, you can convert your annual lease into a single user license. Once your lease has been converted, you need only pay an annual support renewal fee to keep your license active.

• What payment methods are accepted?

  We accept payment by:

  · Credit Card (VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover) Download Authorization Form
  · Check (in US$)
  · ACH Deposit
  · Wire Transfer

  For your convenience, we also offer an Automatic Support Renewal Plan. Benefit from reduced administrative overhead and receive the convenience of automatic payment processing.
