Licensing Options:
Versions

There are two basic versions available for purchase.

End-User - This version is designed to utilize the pre-designed Host Forms in a production environment. In most cases, an application front-end is used by the user and the Host-Access functions are called from within there. The Host-Access product acts as an integrated host interface to the front-end application.

Developer - This version is used to design and modify Host Forms utilized to interface with the host terminal session. Included are Access forms and tables used to develop the host interface. This facility provides access to the Host table which contains all of the Host Forms and all their associated records.  This version includes the End-User version for testing purposes only. You are not permitted to utilize the developer version for production use (installed in an on-going repetitive process). You are only permitted to utilize the End-User portion to test any modifications made to existing forms or the design of new forms.


Licenses

Four types of licenses are available depending on the number of users of the Host-Access software at your company.

Single User - You are granted one license of the Host-Access software (End-User and/or Developer versions) to be installed onto one personal computer. You are not permitted to utilize this license of the software to automate the Host-Access system as defined in the Host Server license below. This license is designed to provide a single user the ability to utilize the Host-Access system in a production environment (End-User) or to develop Host Forms used to interface with the host-based systems (Developer).

LAN (up to 250 users) - You are permitted to install and use the software on a single LAN server PC serving from 2 to 250 workstations. If over 250 workstations are accessing the software on a single LAN server, you are required to purchase additional licenses. You are NOT permitted to distribute, install or use the application, or portions thereof, on additional PC's and/or LANs at your company.

Site (250 to 1000 users) - You are permitted to install and use the software at one specific office location of your company (if more than one site exists) serving from 1 to 1000 workstations. If over 1000 workstations are accessing the software at a single site, you are required to purchase additional licenses. You are NOT permitted to distribute, install or use the application, or portions thereof, at additional office locations or sites at your company.

Corporate (Unlimited users, > 1000) - You are permitted to install and use the software on any number of PCs and/or LANs, at any and all office locations owned and operated by your company. This option is considered when more than 1000 users will be using the Host-Access software.


Implementations

Application Specific - You are granted an pseudo-unlimited license to install and use the Host-Access software only as an integrated portion of an entire software application. This software application will consist of a customized front-end application which utilizes the services of the Host-Access software as a back-end processor. Implementing Host-Access in this manner, the customized application front-end and the Host-Access software are installed and managed as one single application. The cost of the Host-Access software is included in the overall cost of the complete software application. When you purchase or otherwise distribute an additional copy of the complete software application, the cost of the Host-Access software is included if you purchased the LAN, Site or Corporate license. If you purchased Single licenses, you must purchase another single user license for each new copy distributed. No development of additional new Host Forms or Host Scenarios (uploading or downloading) is permitted. You are ONLY permitted to customize the existing Forms and host functions contained in the installed pre-configured Host-Access software. Since each Host Form or function is designed to manipulate a designated host screen, you are NOT permitted to re-design the existing Host Forms to perform host activity on host screens other than their originally designated screens.

Host Server - comprises of a single End-User version and at least one Developer version installed on a single PC usually connected to a LAN. All host activity will occur through this PC in a batch environment eliminating the need to purchase individual licenses for each user on the LAN. If the users do not need immediate access to the host data, this is a possible solution. A back-end process can funnel the host requests to the Host Server where the host activity will actually take place. This solution usually requires development of a host subsystem to organize and facilitate the interface to the host from external applications..

Unlimited Usage - You are permitted to develop and implement as many Host Forms as needed. There are no restrictions on the number of host systems accessed or the number of functions utilized. This option provides the greatest flexibility to globally implement Host-Access in a corporate environment requiring many different host scenarios.
