What license do I need?
The TeeChart Pro Developer license permits one developer to develop with TeeChart Pro. A TeeChart Pro Web-Server run-time license is required only for a Server publishing access to a scripted Charting application, ie. TeeChart scriptable via an ASP script, DLL, ActiveX Usercontrol or equivalent server module. A webserver license is not required if the server only provides Codebase access for downloading the TeeChart Control.
Applied compiled application scenario
The license allows the inclusion of the teechart classes compiled into an application. The conditions of license do not permit that TeeChart classes/properties/methods are made available in an application that may be used to further program with those classes. That type of application would be considered a 'development' tool (rather like Delphi itself, or Visual C++) and users of that application would be considered TeeChart developers and be thus subject to require a TeeChart developer license. An application compiled as a DLL with access to TeeChart properties would be an example of an application requiring TeeChart licensing when distributed. If the Control publishes Chart properties but is only used serverside in a web based application then the conditions outlined in the section "Web server licenses" apply.
Applied Web browser scenario
Clients using the Control served by a Web Server (such as ActiveForm or similar) publishing accessibility to a Chart parameter are not subject to purchase of a TeeChart license depending on the condition of use described here. In the case of a web browser application for which the TeeChart component is included as a clientside control (with OBJECT Codebase or similar) it is not possible to physically control 'application on-developability' as the TeeChart component (here as an ActiveX Control, eg. ActiveForm) is inherently an API that could be scripted or 'on-developed with' in a browser page. We rely on the application developer to make it clear to his/her clientbase that the Control may only be used within the confines of his/her application. Any further scripting with the TeeChart Component would require a developer license by the scripter. If the ActiveForm Control does not publish Chart properties or inherited properties then the same rules as the first section, 'Applied compiled application scenario', apply.
Web server runtime licenses
A TeeChart Web Server license is required for each web server serving a Control that publishes access to Chart properties (or properties derived thereof). We recognise that there may be some technical advantages to using a compiled ISAPI DLL, or similar, or an ActiveX Control housing the TeeChart Control serverside to serve a web based browser clientbase. For this specific use of TeeChart we treat the compiled Control, only when housed as Server based process for a browser clientbase, as only eligible for 1 Web Server runtime license per server. See the section 'Applied Web browser scenario' for a proviso of use. Web Server licenses are available as a separate product to the Developer license, available to licensees of at least one registered Developer license.
Summary
- Assumes ownership of at least 1 developer license by licensee
- Licensing applies to web server installations of the licensee's application only
- Requires one license per web server housing the licensee's application
- Intended that development of scripting of the TeeChart module is restricted to the bounds of the licensee's application
- The TeeChart Control may be made available (ie. as codebase) for distribution to unlimited client browsers
- Clients (ie. browser locations) or servers where Charting code is on-developed should own a developer license
- No TeeChart source code may reside on the server licensed with the Web Server license
Pure Charting application
The license does not permit the distribution of a Control that is a pure Charting control by its nature and may be deemed as competing directly in the same market as TeeChart. The licensors of TeeChart reserve the right of interpretation.
