A simple and straight-forward overview of the licensing is that for <a href="#license.commercial">commercial</a> use there
|
|
is a single licensing fee of <b>£79</b> (GBP) (which is approximately $120 USD)
|
|
whilst for <a href="#license.free">non-commercial use</a> (eg personal, government, charity, educational etc) it's free
|
|
to use assuming that you link to <a href="http://www.OfficeExcel.net" target="_blank">www.OfficeExcel.net</a> on your website.

|
<h2>Commercial <span>usage</span></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Commercial usage covers commercial entities for their websites
|
|
(either internal or external) or in software that they produce. If your organisation generates
|
|
profit then a commercial license is most appropriate. There are some legal terms and FAQs below that
|
|
should help to answer any questions that you may have, but if they don't then you can
|
|
email your question to: <a href="mailto:support@OfficeExcel.net"><b>support@OfficeExcel.net</b></a>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
After completion of either Google Checkout or Paypal payment you are granted an OfficeExcel commercial license. You will
|
|
be sent the license details via email.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example uses are:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Internal websites (eg intranets)</li>
|
|
<li>Private websites</li>
|
|
<li>Public facing websites</li>
|
|
<li>Online applications</li>
|
|
<li>Offline applications</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may alter the OfficeExcel code to suit your particular needs. Also, if you're covered by the non-commercial license, however
|
|
you don't wish to link to the OfficeExcel website then buying a commercial license means that you dont have to.

|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>Do I need to buy a commercial license?</b><br />
|
|
For commercial/business use, then yes - you need a license to use OfficeExcel.
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="how.many.licenses.do.i.need"></a>
|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>How many licenses do I need?</b><br />
|
|
Regardless of how much you use OfficeExcel in your organisation or in the software you make, you are only required to
|
|
buy one OfficeExcel license.
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="how.much.is.a.license"></a>
|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>How much is a license?</b><br />
|
|
An OfficeExcel license costs <b>£79</b> (UK pounds). That's a little over $120 (US dollars) at
|
|
the time of writing.
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="what.if.i.need.something.thats.not.part.of.OfficeExcel"></a>
|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>What if I need something that's not part of OfficeExcel?</b><br />
|
|
If there's a feature that you need that's not part of OfficeExcel then you can usually be accommodated assuming that
|
|
you're a license holder. Please <a href="#contact">contact support</a> first to discuss your needs. If it's not too specific
|
|
to you then it can be added to the main OfficeExcel software. If it is then it can be added to your specific copy of OfficeExcel. You can
|
|
contact support with <a href="mailto:support@OfficeExcel.net">support@OfficeExcel.net</a>
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="what.does.the.license.cover"></a>
|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>What does the license cover?</b><br />
|
|
The OfficeExcel license covers OfficeExcel as a whole. Excepting ExCanvas, all code that you find in the OfficeExcel archive is
|
|
covered by the OfficeExcel license.
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="what.if.im.a.web.designer"></a>
|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>What if I'm a web designer?</b><br />
|
|
In this situation each client would need a separate license for themselves. They can then use OfficeExcel as much as they wish.
|
|
If you prefer to buy in bulk - discounts are available.
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="open.source.projects"></a>
|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>Can I include OfficeExcel in an Open Source project?</b><br />
|
|
You're not prohibited from using OfficeExcel in Open source projects, however you need to be aware of two things:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The license you choose for your project may be incompatible with commercial software. The GPL is a prime
|
|
example of this. Read your license carefully to find out whether you can use commercial software with it.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
If you don't want any commercial users of your software to be liable for an OfficeExcel license you can buy
|
|
an OfficeExcel license to cover your software specifically.
|
|
|
|
<!-- Any commercial users of your software will be liable for a commercial OfficeExcel license. -->
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<a name="bulk.discount"></a>
|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>Is there a discount for buying licenses in bulk?</b><br />
|
|
Yes there's a discount available if you wish to buy 5, 10 or 15 licenses (you could be a web designer for example
|
|
wishing to license your clients). Please <a href="#contact">contact support</a> if this interests you.
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="authoring.tools"></a>
|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>What if I make an authoring tool?</b><br />
|
|
If you make an authoring tool then you can include OfficeExcel with your software but each and every commercial Customer
|
|
who makes use of it would be liable to buy their own full-price license.
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="do.i.need.to.provide.a.backlink"></a>
|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>Do I need to provide a backlink?</b><br />
|
|
Commercial license holders do not need to provide a backlink to the OfficeExcel website.
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="can.you.send.me.an.invoice"></a>
|
|
<br /><br /><br />
|
|
<b>Can you send me an invoice?</b><br />
|
|
Of course, simply go here: <a href="http://www.OfficeExcel.net/invoice.html">http://www.OfficeExcel.net/invoice.html</a>, enter your email
|
|
address and you'll be sent an invoice that you can use for tax purposes.

<h2>Non-commercial <span>free usage</span></h2>
|
|

|
|

|
|
