We can supply any ActiveReports.NET license including new subscriptions, subscription renewals, lapsed subscription renewals, and additional developer licenses.
One software license is required per-developer who designs, develops or maintains applications using ActiveReports.NET. A developer may install their license on up to two machines.
Dependent on geographic location, licenses may be available as an Annual (Timed) Subscription License or as a Perpetual License with a 1 Year Support and Update Subscription.
Annual (Timed) Subscription License (Only available in select geographic locations)
Licensed per developer on a yearly subscription basis. You can build and publish .NET applications using ActiveReports.NET components during your subscription period. You must renew your Annual Subscription License to continue to use the software.
Published applications are Royalty Free and do not expire, however if you do not renew your subscription license you will no longer be able to develop with the components. If you need to build and compile new applications, or make updates to existing applications you will need to purchase an Annual Subscription License.

The optional maintenance After your support and updates subscription expires, you can renew to receive another year of updates. If you choose not to renew, you can continue using the last version of the controls you are eligible to use.
Maintenance Plan for Perpetual License
Adding maintenance to your perpetual license provides you with ongoing support and updates for ActiveReports.NET throughout the duration of your maintenance period. With Maintenance, you benefit from:
Build Servers and CI/CD
If you use automated build agents (CI-CD), MESCIUS offers a Pipeline License:
Intended for build-time use only (no design-time tooling).
Works well with ephemeral/cloud agents and Docker-based builds.
Less restrictive on machine limits/activation patterns than a standard Developer License.
You must purchase or already own at least one developer license (Annual Timed Subscription or Perpetual) in order to purchase a pipeline license. For EULA compliance, you must still own one developer license per each individual developer working on the project containing ActiveReports.NET, even if all developers are compiling the project using the same build pipeline and pipeline license.
