Trial period​

Each VisualCron product has a trial period of thirty (30) days. The trial period gives you a chance to fully test the software free of charge. After the trial period has ended, you will no longer be able to control the VisualCron Server through the VisualCron Client.

If the trial period has ended, there is no way of using future upgrades without ordering the full license. See Upgrade/Updates below.

•The end-user must have an active Maintenance License / VisualCron Product Subscription ("Subscription") that is in good standing. •The active Maintenance / Subscription License is required on the Server in question that the support is related to. •The support is limited to the employees of the end-user. Any third party, i.e., external or third party support or developers must have at least one (1) active Maintenance / Subscription License.

Perpetual vs Subscription license​

As of February 14, 2022, VisualCron has migrated from Perpetual License model to Subscription license model. Licenses purchased before this date remain perpetual with the exception of the Support limitations (as described above). Using Cloud access features (mobile app, cloud servers functionality, etc.) requires an active Maintenance / Subscription License. With the new subscription license, the renewal of the Subscription is mandatory for Jobs to execute on the VisualCron Server.

Version - End of life support​

Each version is supported for one (1) year after the release date. After that, upgrade is recommended to enable all the technical changes that occur throughout the year. Release dates can be found here.

License Key​

The license key will unlock the Software for use on the computer it is installed on. Once installed the license key can only be utilized on that computer Once the license key is used, the code can no longer be used and is considered inactive. . As such, activation is one (1) time only. Under limited circumstances, upon Licensor’s discretion , the license key can be reactivated and used again. You may request to move a license to another server. These operations (reset/transfer/move) require, a) that you have an active Maintenance account or Subscription in good standing; and b) that the operation is manually approved by Licensor’s staff.

Notwithstanding anything herein, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that we will not intentionally include any Trojan horses, worms, or other codes designed to disable the Software once installed pursuant to this Agreement.

Activation and deactivation of a license​

The process of deactivating / moving a license requires that you have an active Maintenance account in good standing.

License Types and Limitations​

Single server licenses - can be installed in and moved but may not be used on more than one server at the same time. This is installation purpose; may it be test, development, or production machine.

For "unlimited" cloud installations, it is up to discussion depending on usage, expected quantity, and locations. The suggested solution may result in a specific agreement that results in two (2) or more Site licenses, a Country license, or a World license.
