Purchasing FAQs

  • 1. How flexible is your licensing model?

    Very flexible. We are ready to provide you with any customized licensing model that best fit in your business requirement.

  • 2. Is internet connectivity required to use a license?

    Not mandatory.

    By default, your license needs to connect to a license server for license registration, but the license server can be hosted inside your local environment which means only intranet connection would be needed. We also provide 100% offline license option upon request. Please feel free to discuss with us.

  • 3. Does Dynamsoft collect any personal data while using the SDK license?

    No. Our SDK does NOT collect any personal or sensitive data from the device running our SDK. 

    Adding our SDKs to your applications will not impact your compliance to GDPR or HIPAA.

  • 4. Is Support and Maintenance included in your price? How much is it to renew it?

    Yes. All prices include 12 months of Support and Maintenance.

    If you are on a yearly subscription, there is no additional cost on Support and Maintenance except for the annual license fee.

    If you use a lifetime/perpetual license, it costs 20% of license fee for 1-year renewal of your Support and Maintenance contract. Discounts are available if you renew upfront for multiple years.
