Perpetual
Desktop License
We license Commercial Building Inspector® to the
end user under the terms of a software license agreement. The terms
of OptaSoft's software license agreements
may vary depending upon the specific software product and version
that you licensed from OptaSoft.
We generally provide our software license agreements electronically
within each software product as a click through license.
Please refer to the particular software product for the software
license agreement applicable to that software. Unless you have another
agreement directly with Optasoft that controls and alters your use
of OptaSoft software products, the terms and conditions of the software
license agreement that accompanies the software product apply to
you.
A perpetual license will allow the customer to use the licensed
software indefinitely. For the first year, the perpetual license
also entitles the customer to download all updates to the software
and to receive technical support. After the one year period ends,
the customer can choose to remain with the last version downloaded
or to purchase a 1 year Updates & Support package, for 23% of
the license price.
The ways we design and build the world are changing rapidly, which
is also changing the tools we use and the ways companies and individuals
buy and access software. OptaSoft is providing flexible ways to
purchase products.
Our customers have long asked for greater flexibility and more
value from their software investments, and the shift to subscription/pay-per-use
platform allows OptaSoft to deliver both, as well as an improved
user experience and access to a broader portfolio of technology.
Customers that already have a perpetual license or who purchase
a perpetual license will be able to continue to use those licenses.
Customers with Maintenance Subscription on those perpetual licenses
will continue to receive corresponding benefits for as long as the
subscription remains active.
OptaSoft work with customers to make software support experience
as smooth as possible (and to deal with exceptional situations accordingly),
and will provide as much advance notice as possible so that customers
can anticipate and plan for these changes. The following information
has been prepared to address any questions, and we will continue
to update this site as we progress throughout the transition.
