License updates question

created 3 years ago

As written here (https://surveyjs.io/Home/Licenses) and
here (https://surveyjs.io/Developer-License- Agreement.pdf) the survey-creator/survey-pdf year subscription:

  • Includes software updates during the 12-month period since original purchase
  • Allows continued use of the last received version for unlimited period of time

Hello! I'm confused a bit. Now I can get sources using npm i survey-creator. After purchasing a license I will receive updates in some other way?..

I mean… I will create a product for my client using your creator. It will be added to package.json and with every new release of client product I will do npm i and thus will download a new available version from npm.

And now lets imagine two years have passed and my client want to reinstall/move to another machine his project. He will do npm i and… he will see this "Please purchase survey…" label?

Hello,
We license per developer and our libraries are royalty free. If your client is not a developer, he doesn't need a license.
The license is perpetual. If you do not want to get the latest version every time, then you do not need the license. If you want to use the latest version all the time, then after a year of using the product, you will need to renewal your license. It is optional.

Please read more in Licensing FAQ section on the bottom of the Buy page.

Thank you,
