Typical User Licensing
Symbol Factory .NET is licensed on a development system/computer basis. This means that
- You need a license of the .NET component for each development computer on which you intend to install the product.
- For example, you will need a license on each computer in which you use Visual Studio to develop, but not a license for any machine on which you wish to install your compiled EXE.
If you are a systems integrator writing custom applications for your customers, and your customer only receives the compiled application, then you do NOT need any additional licenses. If you give your customer the source code so they can edit the application, then your customer will need a license also for their development system.
If you are a machinery builder building an machine User interface application for your machine and you only distribute the compiled application with your machine, then you do NOT need any additional licenses.
If you are an end user writing an application that you plan to distribute in compiled form throughout your plant or plants, then you do NOT need any additional licenses.
In short, if you have Visual Studio .NET on the machine and the source code to the application that uses Symbol Factory.NET is present, then you'll need a license of Symbol Factory .NET.
