What are the differences between various license types for your products?

The products are available under several license types for various needs:
  1. Vendor
  2. In-House
  3. Ultimate
  4. Middleware

Vendor license is offered to Independent Software Vendors (both individuals and companies), who develop and license their end-user software, public web applications or web services to third-parties or for own use (eg. to run publicly available web application). If you develop the software, which is planned to be distributed to other companies / organizations or individual users or if you build a public web application or web service, then this license it the most likely option for you (it's possible, that you will find Middleware or Ultimate license more applicable, though). Vendor license offered on per-developer basis and also available as "company licenses", i.e. usable by any number of developers in one company/organization in one country. Optionally you can purchase Worldwide License licensing option, which lets you use the company license worldwide.

In-House license is used by companies, which need our product(s) for internal company use, such as custom in-house software or automation purposes. In-House license does not include the right to redistribute the products to other companies / organizations or individual users. In-house license offered on per-developer basis and also available as "company licenses", i.e. usable by any number of developers in one company/organization in one country. Optionally you can purchase Worldwide License licensing option, which lets you use the company license worldwide.

Middleware license is a special kind of license which is used by Independent Software Vendors (both individuals and companies), who develop and license their software components and modules (i.e. VCL and .NET components, C++ or COM libraries, ActiveX or .NET controls etc.) to other companies / organizations or individual users which in turn act as software developers and use the mentioned software modules in their software products. Middleware license can be used by any number of developers in one company/organization in one country. Optionally you can purchase Worldwide License licensing option, which lets you use the company license worldwide. Middleware license includes a Vendor license as well.

Ultimate license is offered to the companies, who want to use the products worldwide (i.e. including all subsidiary companies and branches worldwide) for any commercial or in-house purpose including but not limited to redistribution as a part of their end-user software or web applications and web services (where applicable). Ultimate license also offers free upgrades for the lifetime of the product and high-priority Standard support. Ultimate license can be used by any number of developers and on any number of systems in the company/organization, as well as subsidiary companies/organizations and contractors worldwide.
