LICENSE TYPES

Single User Licenses
The Single User License is designed to allow a single copy of software program to be installed on and used with only one computer (CPU). It cannot be installed on multiple machines under any circumstances (see Note). When multiple copies are necessary, each computer must have a separate Single User License copy installed.

Note: The end-user may install and use the application on a work computer, home computer or portable computer (i.e. multiple locations), provided that the end-user is the only person who uses this application, at any time, in any of these locations. If other users will use the application on any of the computers that the application will be installed on, then additional Single User Licenses or a Network License needs to be obtained for each user who plans to use the application.

Concurrent user/multi-user licenses – 5-user and 10-user licenses
The concurrent use license model gives our license holders an extremely high degree of freedom and flexibility. The Concurrent Network License is designed for and licensed to an organization with multiple regular and occasional named users on a single network of computers at a specified location. This package includes 1 CD-ROM containing installation information and the application documentation in *.PDF format.

The maximum number of users concurrently accessing the application is dependent on the license purchased and a system must be in place within the end-user organization to monitor license compliance.

Five-user license: This allows you to install the Software on up to five computers or concurrent usage of up to 5 users. You may transfer the Software from one computer to another, but the Software must not be installed on more than five computers at any one time or accessed by five concurrent users at any one time.

Ten-user license: This allows you to install the Software on up to ten computers or concurrent usage of up to 10 users. You may transfer the Software from one computer to another, but the Software must not be installed on more than ten computers at any one time or accessed by 10 concurrent users at any one time.

(Warning: Exceeding the license maximum will lead to revocation of the entire license for all individual installations, potentially putting ongoing work and projects in jeopardy.)

Updaters
Software updaters are offered free of charge to all registered users. An update is any software release that corrects existing problems in the software (bugs) or makes functional adjustments to it's features. Check out the latest updaters here.

Upgrades
Software upgrades are offered for a lesser charge than a new license purchase to all registered users. An upgrade is any software release that includes major new features that are not offered as an update and are not considered to be updates only.

Subscriptions (only available to academic institutions)

School wide subscription
A school wide subscription is designed to allow multiple copies of a software program to be installed on and used with as many computers (CPUs) as necessary in a single physical location or office (i.e. does not include remote offices or branches of the same company or business). It can be installed on multiple machines in the same business location. This is a non-permanent license - the license must be renewed yearly. Contact us at info@synergy.com for more details.
Departmental subscription
A departmental subscription is designed to license a specific group of users at an organization, rather than an entire organization. The department represents a discrete area of research that does not include multiple divisions, groups, units, sections, branches, programs, etc. within. If any employee of the organization can access the software, it is not considered a department license. Typically, 'Research Department' is too general for licensing. There is a 50 license minimum. This is a non-permanent license - the license must be renewed yearly. Contact us a info@synergy.com for more details.

Maintenance Agreements
Take the worry out of maintaining one of your most critical productivity assets, your licenses for KaleidaGraph. Track your licenses in a maintenance agreement and make it easier to manage your KaleidaGraph deployment.

A maintenance agreement allows universities and businesses to provide departmental upgrades in a more timely fashion. There is no more delaying an upgrade purchase until a one-time expense can be fit into the budget. All software enhancements during your maintenance agreement period are included, and your software investment remains protected.

Your investment in a maintenance agreement program proves more budget- friendly than the individual purchase of upgrades. A maintenance agreement is a three-year commitment at a reasonable fee per year so you can more accurately plan your technology spending. If a new version is released during the maintenance agreement period, that new version is immediately available at no extra cost.

Benefits of a maintenance agreement:

easy budgeting
during the maintenance commitment term: access to new releases, security notifications, updates, and professional support
best value for keeping your software current

Note: A maintenance agreement must contain a minimum of 5 licenses. You must be on the current version to enter into a maintenance agreement.

EDUCATIONAL LICENSE TERMS

Eligible Institutions
Only officially accredited educational institutions are eligible to obtain KaleidaGraph educational licenses. This status requires accreditation on the part of a nationally recognized accrediting agency. This includes: universities (including distance and continuing education programs), colleges, junior colleges, scientific and technical schools, vocational schools, and correspondence schools.

Educational licenses can also be purchased by officially employed teaching, research staff, and students of officially accredited educational institutions.

NOTE: We reserve the right to request written proof of eligibility at any time. Proof of eligibility is a legally binding written statement demonstrating that an institution or employer qualifies as an officially accredited educational institution. By ordering an educational license you agree to submit proof of eligibility upon request. If you fail to demonstrate eligibility, you will be charged the difference in price to the standard version.

The Educational License prohibits all commercial uses of the program. This includes for-profit KaleidaGraph training sessions. Educational licenses are available exclusively to non-commercial, accredited educational institutions and their employees.

Use of the program is expressly restricted to use in teaching and research. Administrative use of the program is considered a commercial application and thus not allowed under the Educational License policy.

Only accredited educational institutions and employees of accredited educational institutions in teaching and research are eligible for KaleidaGraph educational licenses.

Non-Profit Organizations, Government Pricing
Non-profit organizations that are not accredited educational institutions as defined above are NOT automatically eligible for discounted educational licenses. A non-profit organization wishing to be considered for a discount will need to contact Synergy software directly.

Government agencies that are not accredited educational institutions as defined above are allowed a 10% discount off of the corporate price list.
