This discount pricing applies for a single purchase only!
This license is good for: Companies and organizations going to use
the Active Label ActiveX and/or Browser for integration with/into their
business software - WEB based inventory and enterprise applications, custom
solutions built using various technologies etc. If you have too many
workstations and you are using non-WEB based solutions you may check also the
developer license below.
Support and upgrade. The Active Label ActiveX license implies
support by e-mail and instant messaging for developers and users. The instant
messaging sessions are scheduled by e-mail. The license holder is eligible for
free of charge upgrades for new versions and patches at least for the next year.
Our common policy is to offer free upgrades for as long as possible.
2. Only the newObjects Active Label Browser for usage on a single machine.
This license permits usage of the newObjects Active Label Browser application
only and NOT the ActiveX in other applications and on WEB pages. This license is
low cost version for the customers who want to use only the application, but do
not intend to integrate the ActiveX in other applications. Note that the browser
offers certain features for integration with your databases and applications,
but not as much as the ActiveX. For details and overview information see the Active
Label Browser WEB page.
Pricing - license for:
1 machine/seat - $20
2 and more machines/seats - $15
You can place a secure order through RegNet.
The discount rate applies only for a single purchase!
Note that the download package is the same for the both Active Label
ActiveX and Active Label Browser.
This license is good for: Non-developers, but skilled computer users
who need to perform labeling and/or barcoding operations. While not a primary
goal for the application various other tasks can be performed also: identity,
business cards, labels for office equipment, folders and many other small
format printings. See the Active
Label Browser WEB page for more information about the product features.
Support and upgrade. The Active Label Browser license implies
support by e-mail and instant messaging for users. The instant messaging
sessions are scheduled by e-mail. The license holder is eligible for free of
charge upgrades for new versions and patches at least for the next year. Our
common policy is to offer free upgrades for as long as possible.
3. newObjects Active Label ActiveX - developer license for
inclusion in a product and royalty free redistribution. This kind of license
permits hosting the Active Label ActiveX in an application you are building and
royalty free redistribution of the application with the ActiveX to unlimited
number of customers. A single developer license applies to one application and
is bound to the application's main executable file. This license is a
cheaper solution for some software solutions only (where technically possible). See the technical
requirements below.
Pricing - license for:
1 application - $290 (Buy
through RegNet)
For consequent purchases of developer license for other applications a
discount applies - contact us for more information.
There is no limitation about the number of the copies of your application you
sale/distribute.
The license is independent of the version of your application, you do not need
to renew it when you prepare a new version of your product.
This license is good for: Developers who are working on non-WEB
based projects that would need the Active Label ActiveX functionality. For
example they can be projects implemented using VB, .NET, Delphi etc.
Support and upgrade. The Active Label ActiveX license implies
support by e-mail and instant messaging for developers. The instant messaging
sessions are scheduled by e-mail. The license holder is eligible for free of
charge upgrades for new versions and patches at least for the next year.
Technical requirements. To use a developer license your project must
have a main executable (EXE) file which starts the application in which the
ActiveX is hosted. You must be able to add at least string resources to your
executable. The executable must have company and product info in its version
information. Please contact us for more information and help before buying. If
your application cannot meet these requirements you need a "branded"
version (see below).
4. Branding - unlimited royalty free
redistribution with any application you develop - WEB based or not. A
personalized copy of the Active Label ActiveX (only) is created for your
company. It displays the name and the URL of your WEB site along with ours in
the about box, the version information and a couple of other UI elements. It is
effectively a completely separate product from the operating system's point of
view with own COM class and program identifiers which means that it wont cause
problems if non-branded version or version branded for another vendor gets
installed on the same machine. This gives you absolute freedom to redistribute
it in any suitable way.
Pricing
Current version - $489 (Buy
through RegNet)
The control can be distributed in any suitable form - as part of the setup of
your application or separately (for clients of a WEB based solution for
example). The only requirement is that the application(s) that use the control
are developed by your company/organization. This includes applications sold to
many clients, specialized and other solutions. Basically, you are permitted
everything that is technically possible unless it is illegal according to the
laws by which it is covered in the area where it is distributed.
This license is good for: All applications. It is especially
recommended for developers of WEB applications for big number of end-users or
for public use. Also it is the only way for non-WEB applications built with
programming tools which do not create a dedicated executable licensable under
the developer license (see 3 above).
Support and upgrade. Upgrades - creation of a branded copy for a
newer version of the control if you have a branded copy of previous version.
The pricing may vary depending on the difference between the versions, for
minor upgrades (e.g. from version 1.X to 1.Y where Y > X) the price is $50.
Upgrade to new revisions is free (e.g. from 1.X.R1 to 1.X.R2). An upgrade is
done only when demanded by the customer.
A minimal redistribution install package is created for you when you order a
branded version. It can be used for distribution if your application has no
setup of its own (WEB based intranet solutions for instance) or you can get
the ActiveX DLL from it and include it in a setup package maintained by
another setup solution as long as it supports installation of COM DLL.
Technical requirements. None specific. You need to use the Class ID of
your branded version when putting the control on a WEB page or creating it in
a non-WEB application.
Source code. Sometimes additional guarantee is needed and you may
want to be sure that you can re-create the product on your own if needed. For
additional fee of $389 (see the notes below) you can purchase the source code
for your "branded" version (the source code option is available only
for "branded" versions) and use it to re-build the ActiveX.
The source code is designed for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and uses ATL
and some additional free libraries. The standard fee is for this form of the
source code supplied "as is" without additional modifications. If
you need port to later versions of Visual C++ and/or custom modifications
please contact us first.
You are permitted to modify the source code of the product on your own risk.
Please note that future upgrade to a new version would require you to apply
your modifications again!
The source code is supplied with the branded version packed with all the used
libraries in their state at the moment (for your convenience). The Visual C++
6.0 is intentionally used as a development environment for most of our ActiveX
projects to guarantee compatibility with most versions of the Windows
operating system.
Contracts for custom development of software based on Active Label
ActiveX. If you need development of an application in the areas covered by
this product or a combination of our products you can contract a development of
a project by us or our partners. This can be entire application or a module
depending on the specific needs you may have.
