If you want to build an application using optimization and/or simulation, and then distribute your application to end users or offer it on an Intranet or Web server, or as a Web service, you've come to the right place! Frontline Systems has extensive experience supporting application developers through the development and testing process, and negotiating mutually acceptable licensing agreements that make it easy to distribute or deploy your application. We'll treat you as either an ISV (Independent Software Vendor) or as a Corporate Developer, eligible for special Runtime License prices and terms.
Runtime Licenses: Please read our full discussion of Runtime Licensing Programs. We offer programs customized for both ISVs and Corporate Developers. We have worked hard to create flexibility in runtime licenses, so that we can closely match our prices and runtime license scope to the requirements of your application. Our sales people will be happy to consult with you on the type of runtime license that best fits your needs. License Agreements: Runtime licenses may be purchased only after an appropriate license agreement is signed with Frontline Systems. We offer a standard form of license agreement, that is sufficient for many common situations, and does not require a license origination fee. If our standard form of agreement is not appropriate, we'll be happy to negotiate a custom agreement with your organization that includes a license origination fee to cover the extra costs of negotiation. Types of Licenses: We offer three basic types of runtime licenses:
Prices and Discounts: Our runtime license pricing gives you steep discounts for higher volumes of users, in the case of Named User Runtime licenses, or uses, in the case of Flexible Use Runtime licenses. Note that fees for Flexible Use Runtime licenses are always fixed and known in advance, based on the number of uses per day, week or month that you need. At the upper limit, a Flexible Use Runtime license is a "paid-up, unlimited-use" license for your application -- but if you need less than this, you can pay for only as much "capacity" as you need. Getting Started: To get started, first register so that can you download evaluation versions of our software, and access "protected" Web pages and documents. Registration is quick and easy, and there's no cost or obligation -- just click here. Then click on Runtime License Planning Questionnaire on this page (menu Pricing / Distribution Licenses) to display a form where you can enter some basic information that will help us work with you more effectively: About your application, its stage of development, and your tentative distribution or deployment plans. We'll respond by email -- typically within one to two business days -- to discuss your needs and options. Our next step is to give you an account with access to http://premium.solver.com -- a direct portal into Frontline Systems' online accounting and customer relationship management system. Via this portal, we can give you access to our standard license agreement, support information, and other documents. You can also use it to create a new tech support "case" and ask for assistance, review past cases, view a quotation, enter an order, or view your order history. We know that software development takes time and planning -- we're happy to work with you when you need us, as your application moves from early planning to development, testing, and deployment. If you have questions, please contact us at any time. |
