Prices 2011
Licences
The following table outlines the cost of licences for v2.0 in 2011. You pay a single payment for a licence and have the option of an Annual Maintenance.
There are two main configurations available, "Fixed" and "Floating" each priced according to the type of the licencing organisation (Corporate, Small Business or Academic). Please ask StrataData for advice on the best solution for your requirements.
In the "Fixed" configuration, the licence is usually locked to a hardware key ("dongle"), and can only be used in conjunction with the key. You can move the dongle between different computers as required. You can use the licence to attach to a stand-alone database or a shared database on any of the supported database platforms.
In the "Floating" configuration you can install the software on as many machines as you want, but the number of licenses in use at any one time is controlled by a designated licence server machine, configured for one or more licences.
It is possible to upgrade from a fixed to a floating configuration for the difference in prevailing prices.
For either type of licence, you can use the database platform of your choice, but we do not supply any database software itself, this must be licensed separately if required. We support the following database platforms: Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL. For standalone single user databases we recommend and supply an Access database. You do not need an Access licence to be able to run StrataBugs. You can use Access as a small multi-user database but for larger groups (>3) you should consider the alternatives. MySQL is available to use under the GNU public licence as a free download or on a subscription service. Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle are licensable products.
Prices quoted below are for a single user. Discounts are available for multiple users - please contact us for a quotation.
