One software runtime license is required per CPU.
The distributed Run-time is NOT royalty free.

'Client' and 'Server' are general industry terms that might be interpreted in different ways. Pegasus defines 'Client' machines as 'operated by a person', and 'Server' machines as 'operated by a process'. (ex. If you have a computer that monitors a folder for new files to process, by some cue or timer, those files with Pegasus Code, this is defined by Pegasus as a 'Server'.) Literal translations are not an 'out' from the true Pegasus Licensing intent.

'CPU', 'Seat', 'User', 'Computer', 'Installation' and 'Runtime' are general industry terms that are used interchangeably. 'Multi-processor' computers and 'multi-core' processors (chips) are counted by Pegasus as multiple CPU's or seats, so a 'dual-core' processor counts as two CPUs. (ex. If you have installed Pegasus Code on a dual processor computer, and the Pegasus Code is being utilized by both of those processors, but this is only one 'computer' with only 'one seat' at this machine that you just 'installed once', by Pegasus definition this is still two 'Seats', two 'Installs' and two 'Computers'.) Literal translations are not an 'out' from the true Pegasus Licensing intent.

Metered Licensing
Metered Licensing is a new runtime licensing option for Barcode Xpress, introduced with the release of Barcode Xpress v13.1. Instead of purchasing a traditional Toolkit license for a particular version of the application, the license provided is tied to an online customer account which stores a number of purchased transactions.

The new licensing model works alongside the traditional model as an additional licensing option. If you elect to use a metered license, you will be provided with an OEM License Key to embed in your application and register via the Licensing API.

This licensing model is designed for customers who need the ability to scale their application. These licenses pull from a pool of transactions and are licensed at the application level instead of needing to license each machine that uses this application.

It is your responsibility to ensure that sufficient transactions remain in your account balance to allow for uninterrupted service.

Please contact us for a Metered Licensing quote.

Please read the Licensing Information Web page from the Evals & Downloads section.

Note: If you are deploying a combination of Pegasus Imaging products, special discounts will apply. The cost will be the higher cost runtime plus 1/3 of additional runtime fees. Please contact sales@componentsource.com.
For example: If you are purchasing Product A Runtime ($120) and Product B Runtime ($150) together, runtimes won't be added together. Total price will be $190 (Product B $150 + 1/3 of Product A $40).

Barcode Xpress is priced according to the reading speed required and number of runtimes installed. Before purchasing a development kit, determine the barcodes per second (BPS) speed requirement. This determines which edition is needed, Barcodes per second (BPS) Speed:

• Standard Edition: 4 BPS
• Professional Edition: Unlimited BPS

PEGASUS grants the LICENSEE a limited and non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use, reproduce, display or otherwise distribute right to use one copy of a properly registered Smartscan Xpress ("TOOLKIT") for development purposes on any single computer, provided the TOOLKIT is in use on only one computer at any time. The TOOLKIT is "in-use" on a computer when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e. RAM) or installed into the permanent memory (i.e. hard disk, CD-ROM, or other storage device) of that computer. Please review all other licensing regulations detailed in the licensing HTML file (located in the Evals and Demos section of this product page).

Please note: In order to receive your development/developer (SDK) license key you may be required to purchase runtime licenses at the same time. (Usually a minimum of 5 runtime licenses is required).
If you are purchasing additional developer licenses this requirement may not be necessary providing you already have a Runtime license agreement with Accusoft, you will still need to purchase runtime licenses according to your deployment needs.

A member of the ComponentSource Sales Team will contact you after you place your order to check that you have the licenses you require and will then send you information to access your license keys.
