11. Software Licensing

Hi IQ Users !

With InfoQube IM, we want licensing to be as simple as possible, while keeping the principle that the price must be proportional to your financial capabilities, and to how much IQ can save you in time and money.
With that in mind, there are 3 types of licenses:
  1. Personal
  2. Standard
  3. Small Business
 
 

1- Personal license

  • $50, $30 introductory price
  • Basic concept: If you, yourself, must pay for it (and you can't write it off on your income tax) then a personal license will do
  • Details: The Personal license can be used in any of the following cases:
    1. Personal use (i.e. non-professional use)
    2. Non-profit organizations
    3. 90 days in a work place. After that period of time, either one of the professional licenses must be purchased by the employer or you purchase it yourself (see #4 below)
    4. If you are employed and want to use IQ at work but the employer refuses to pay (whatever the reason is) (i.e. If you must pay for it), then a personal license will do.
  • If upgrading to another license type, the value of the Personal license will be deducted
     

2- Standard license

  • $150, $100 introductory price
  • $100/yr, $10/mo subscription plans with free upgrades
  • Volume reduced pricing
     

3- Small Business license

  • Individually at 50% off the regular license
  • 3-license pack for the price of a regular license
  • Consultants
  • Small businesses
 
Multiple installations
 
All licenses use this simple principle:
  • A license can be running on only one computer at any given time
  • You are free to install it on as many computers as long as this rule is never broken
     
Updates
 
We want to encourage users to upgrade, to ensure that we only need to support one version, so:
  • All license types have free minor updates.
  • Major updates price will never exceed 20-25% of the current license price.
