Renewals

After your Annual (Timed) Subscription License expires, you can renew to receive another year of software usage, upgrades, bug fixes and new features. If you do not renew you must stop using the software. For Perpetual Licenses with a 1 Year Support and Update Maintenance Subscription, if you choose not to renew the maintenance, you can continue using the last version you are eligible to use.

FAQs

Is the license permanent (perpetual) or temporal (time-limited)?

Dependent on geographic location, licenses may be available as an Annual (Timed) Subscription License or as a Perpetual License with or without a 1 Year Support and Update Maintenance Subscription.

What happens after my subscription period expires?

Annual (Timed) Subscription Licenses
If you do not renew your subscription license you will no longer be able to develop with the controls. If you need to build and compile new applications, or make updates to existing applications you will need to purchase an Annual Subscription License.

Perpetual Licenses
If you do not renew your maintenance subscription, you are no longer entitled to updates or support, but you may continue to use the version of the product you received during your active maintenance subscription.

Can I co-term (align) my existing licenses?

Yes - ComponentSource can arrange to co-term your licenses, even if they were not originally purchased through us. Please call us or to discuss your needs.

Can I upgrade?

Upgrades may be available dependent on geographic location. The upgrade is for perpetual licenses from previous versions of the same product to upgrade to the latest version.

Can I buy an old product version?

MESCIUS (formerly GrapeCity) does not offer previous versions for sale directly, but if you purchase a new license for Spread.NET, MESCIUS (formerly GrapeCity) will provide you with the version of the product that you need. Please contact us to request an older version.

Do I need to buy a license for my build machine?

Yes. You need a separate license for your build machines.

Do I need to purchase licenses for my customers?

No. Spread.NET includes royalty-free redistribution. Provided your customers are using Spread.NET as part of your application, they do not need a license. Anyone who has design time access (the ability to code) will need to own a license.

Is Source Code available?
