For customers that need large-scale installation authority at a single site or plant, Brother Technology offers very attractive Multi-User licenses.  A Multi-User License provides an inexpensive way for businesses, schools, universities or other work groups to supply their personnel with computer software in both a legal and cost-efficient manner.

The following chart details the cost of various Multi-User Licenses based on the number of CPUs.  Multi-user discounts begin on license orders greater than 10-users.  For example, if you purchase a AptEdit license for 10 CPUs your cost would be $174.75, which saves you 50% ($174.75) versus the cost of 10 individual purchases.  The more copies licensed, the greater the percentage savings.

All amounts are in U.S. dollars.

If you later wish to add additional CPUs to the license, you can build upon the number of copies already licensed to achieve a better price.  For example, the cost to grow a 10-CPU AptEdit license to 20 CPUs is $139.80, which is the difference in cost between a 20-CPU and a 10-CPU license ($314.55 - 174.75).  In this way your license can be grown economically, as your needs change.

Our standard upgrade cost for Multi-User Licenses is 40% of the published license cost.

AptEdit's site licensing policy is based on 'individual use', not 'concurrent use'.  When determining the number of licenses required, the computation should be made according to the number of CPUs on which AptEdit will be installed or used, and not according to the maximum theoretical concurrent use that might occur.  (An exception to this policy is made for individual, non-commercial users who may wish to install AptEdit onto multiple CPUs which are owned by them, and of which they are the sole user.)  Also, please note that the installation of AptEdit onto a network server which is accessible by many users does not constitute use on a single CPU: the license quantity must be determined by the number of workstations that will use the software.  Multi-User licenses are typically limited to a single business, school, university or work group.
