1. Licensing questions on our software components
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.What is the difference between a single developer license, small team license and site license?
- A single developer license allows ONE developer within a company to use the components, 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.
- A small team license allows TWO developers within one company to use the components, obtain free updates and priority email support. A small team license is NOT transferable to other developers than the 2 originally assigned developers.
- 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.

The registered version can be simultaneously installed for multiple IDEs. The components can as such be used simultaneously from multiple Delphi versions or from both Delphi and C++Builder IDEs.Can the registered version of components be used on multiple machines?

When a TMS VCL Subscription/ TMS Component Studio/ TMS Business Subscription is purchased, free updates & free priority support is provided for 2 years.
