Developer license

I am going to be implementing forum software for a number of clients, each of which will have multiple sites, so probably about 6 sites in all.  And I will probably be customising the code to integrate it into our systems, so according to the licensing information that means they will each have to be an unbranded license.

First, how much is an unbranded license?

Second, can I buy a bulk number of licenses without the URL's of where they are going to go?

Third, as a developer can I get a license which will allow me create multiple instances of the product on a single development server?  This is probably the most important part, as if I am going to have to buy a fresh license every time I get a new job then your product loses its appeal pretty quickly.

e2a: If the cost of the unbranded license is not for public viewing, please email it to me at my profile email address.

Hi,

I am going to send you the unbranded license info to your email. And yes, you can purchase a multiple licenses at once to receive more discounts. And yes, you can have multiple instances of the product on a single server. Just make sure that you have a separate database for each license.

Please check your email for additional information.

Thank you Samuel, thats great.

Just a couple of points for clarification please.

1) I'm trying to interpret your license agreement, and I'm stuck on point 7:

---

"The Product's Commercial License can be purchased for your client as a stand-alone application. Stand-alone application means that The Product is used as is, without modification of any kind to the source code, without repackaging of any kind, and is installed one instance per license purchased for your client. If you bundle The Product with other software or services with any modification to the The Product's source code as part of your business offering, you will need to obtain the un-branded license."

---

If I wanted to include the 10 latest posts for a particular topic within my clients website (read only, link out to the forum for full access), does this fall under the unbranded license?  Also, if I wanted to tie up my site membership with the forum membership, maybe by replicating the forum membership form within the main site?  I've quite happy to keep your branding/copywrite on the bottom of the pages, just trying to figure out what you mean by "standalone application" and "any modification to the ... source code".

2) I think you misunderstood the third question in my original post.  As a developer, am I going to have to buy a seperate license each time I get a new client who needs a forum?  Each client will require their own database and website, and while its not a problem to get the client to pay for an instance of the software, I wouldn't want to have to buy a full license for development purposes.  The development server is purely for internal purposes, we don't run websites from it for external viewing, only for development and then bug fixing.

3) And finally, sorry for the pedantry, but in your email you said:
"About URL’s: ... Of course, I am asking you to have all the URLs ready when you purchase, just whenever you have them."
Is there a "not" missing from the first part of the sentence, as in "I am not asking you to have all the URLs ready..."?  Its just that when I read it back its kind of bi-meaning if you get my drift...

Thanks again Samuel, we're really close now...

1) no, we have Site Integration Pacakge that allows you to do both (membership integration and 10 latest posts) without having to modify anything. So no, you do not need unbranded license.
2) you do not need to buy a separate development license each time, as long as the client purchases the license for use on their production server.
3) I am sorry, yes, I missed a "not" in there.

I am wondering the specifics about unbranded liscenses also.  Could you please e-mail me the information also?
Thanks!
