Alloy Software's licensing is based on the number of databases (data repositories), number of users directly working with the software, and number of audit nodes tracked with the product.

Database/Site License

A Database is a repository where information (data) is retained. One Database License allows you to install the Software on multiple computers that share a common database. If more than one database is required, you must purchase additional database licenses.

User Access License

The User Access License identifies the number of database users (technicians and managers) that directly work with the software. Every user requires their own User Access License. If this number increases over time, additional user access licenses should be purchased.

Audit License

Audit License identifies the number of nodes (computers) that can be audited or tracked in the inventory repository. The number of audit nodes should at least equal the number of computers in your organization. If this number increases over time, additional audit node licenses should be purchased.

License Types

Alloy Software licenses its products with two license choices: perpetual or subscription.

Subscription Licensing

A Subscription License entitles the customer to use the software during the subscription period, minimum subscription period is 6 months.

Perpetual Licensing

A Perpetual License entitles the customer to use the software indefinitely. This is a one time fee.

A Software Upgrade is a purchase of a newer major version of software you currently use. Version 5 to version 6 is an example of an upgrade.
