End-User applications

Licensing/Updates

The Xbase++ platform is licensed on a per user/developer license. We explicitly allow multiple installations of the same license on different machines at different sites. Usage of the same development license by multiple users is not permitted. A developer license must be purchased for each user of the Xbase++ development platform on your team.

There are no runtime fees. Applications developed with Xbase++ can be freely distributed as long as the distributing party has a valid Xbase++ license.

To update an existing Xbase++ license with access to regular updates and fixes as well as new versions, a subscription is required. Subscriptions are available with or without technical support services and cover a period of 12 months.
