Documenos ®

Licence

After you download Documenos® and install it on your servers, it runs in "Free Edition" mode. In Free Edition mode, some restrictions apply and numerical limits are imposed on certain operations. To use Documenos® without restrictions or limits, you need to register a licence. The subtopics of this section explain step by step how to create, transfer, recover a lost, and cancel a licence registration, and more.

Licensing

Documenos® licences are "Rental / Subscription" licences. The minimum licence term is one year. Time-limited licences must be renewed at the end of their term. A licence covers four licensable elements:

  1. Licence Type (Free / Standard / Enterprise)
  2. Whether the Licence Is Perpetual
  3. Number of Users to Be Licensed
  4. Number of Companies/Organizations to Be Licensed

Perpetual licences can be used for a lifetime. Holders of a lifetime licence can keep updating to and using all new versions of the application for life.

If the licence is not perpetual, the renewal date is always fixed (it is the date on which the licence was first registered). The licence is renewed on the same day every year. For licences that are not renewed, the licence holder is granted a grace period to complete the renewal.

Once this period expires, licences that have not been renewed are closed and the application switches from "licensed" mode to "trial" mode.

For example, when an additional company or users are added to the licence two months before the renewal date, the annual amount of the added items is divided by 365, multiplied by the number of days remaining until the renewal date (in this case 60 for two months), and the additional features are added to the licence.

The licence is valid until the renewal date. When the renewal date arrives, all components included in the licence are renewed for one year at the new price.
