DataObjects.Net is a royalty-free product. You must purchase a license for each developer involved in the development or maintenance of DataObjects.Net-based applications, regardless of whether all of them are working on code that involves the use of DataObjects.Net.

Overview

DataObjects.Net is available in several editions:

  • Express Edition
    Free edition of product having several functional limitations. No support is implied for users of this edition.
  • Standard Edition
    Relatively cheap version containing almost no limitations
  • Advanced Edition
    Full-featured version of product
  • Professional Edition
    Full-featured version of product with source code
  • Enterprise Edition (license pack)
    License pack for 4 developers. Include full-featured product with its source code, priority support, access to nightly builds and discounts on trainings.

Note: we may change the set of editions as well as license conditions in future, but such changes do never propagate to ordered licenses (conditions that were intact on the moment of order are the only valid conditions in this case).
