Freeware vs. licensed features

Advanced Installer offers two sets of features: freeware features and licensed features. The feature set is selected by the type of the project you are creating. The "Simple" projects use only freeware features, while the "Professional", "Java Application", "Patch" and other projects employ licensed features.

No license is necessary when using only freeware features in "Simple" projects. Install packages created using these features can be freely redistributed and used both in commercial and non-commercial purpose (subject to EULA).

The non-freeware features require a valid license.

Trial

Non-freeware features offer a 30-day trial period, after which you must buy a license in order to keep using them. Otherwise, after the trial period the Build operation will stop working for non-"Simple" projects.

During the trial period, packages created using licensed features may only be used for testing purposes. You may not redistribute them.

How many licenses?

Advanced Installer is licensed per developer. That means you need one license for each developer using the Advanced Installer product. Each developer is allowed to install his license on any computer he is using Advanced Installer on.

With a licensed version of Advanced Installer, you can create an unlimited number of install packages and you can distribute them royalty free to an unlimited number of users, to be installed on an unlimited number of computers.

Upgrading your license

If you decide you need certain features found in a different Advanced Installer edition, you can purchase a license upgrade at anytime.

Maintenance Plans

A License gives you the right to unlimited use of the Advanced Installer product.
A Maintenance Plan gives you access to application updates and technical support.
