General tips |
Does the license
provide royalty free use of components ?
Yes, all components come with a
license for royalty free use of the components when used in binary compiled
applications
Single developer license vs site license
A site license allows an unlimited
number of developers within the company holding the license to use the
components for commercial application development and to obtain free updates for
a full version cycle and priority email support. A single developer license
allows ONE developer within a company to use the components for commercial
application development, to obtain free updates and priority email support.
A single developer license is NOT
transferable to another developer within the company or to a developer from
another company.
Email address changes for registered users
Send an email with:
- current registration email
- current registration code
- new registration email
to info@tmssoftware.com and the
database will be updated.
For single developer licenses, we can NOT
change the email to another user email address.

This is available for registered users.
