Software Policies

Licensing

What is a license?

WM Software does not sell software; we sell licenses to use our software.
WM Software software is protected as an intellectual property.
WM Software software can only be used in accordance with the terms of the WM Software License Agreement (WSLA).
Licenses can be structured to fit a company's needs

Licensing models

Standard licensing - the software is licensed per operating system.
Enterprise licensing - when available, this offers a lower up front cost and the ability to spread the software license costs over a period of time.
Multiple processors - WM Software adheres to the physical processor rule when the software is licensed per processor.

Reselling
Licenses sold are not-for-resale licenses, unless the purchaser is an approved WM Software reseller. All licenses re-sold without WM Software knowledge or approval will not be supported and will be subjected to the terms and laws within our license agreement.

Maintenance
Where indicated, yearly support maintenance agreements are available for 20% per license, which gives free technical support and free major/minor version upgrades.

Upgrading
Upgrades to the same version but different build number are available at no charge. Upgrades from a previous version of the same software and license count to a new version (i.e. 5.0 to 5.1) are 40% off. If the software is purchased up to 60 days prior to a product’s release date, customers are eligible to receive the new version at no cost. If customers decide to get the free upgrade to the latest version, then the software needs to be upgraded within 60 days after the product’s release.

If the product is the same version (i.e. 6.5 to 6.5) and the same or newer build (i.e. 128 to 128+), upgrading the software will not require it to be re-registered.
If the product is a newer version than what you purchased (i.e. 6.5 to 6.7), and your company has an active maintenance contract with WM Software, the software can be re-registered automatically from within the software.
If the product is a newer version than what you purchased (i.e. 6.5 to 6.7), and your company does not have an active maintenance contract with WM Software, the software can be updated and register manually after paying the upgrade license cost.

Discounts
We offer a 20% discount for government and educational institutions.

Unlock Codes
The unlock code used in our software is an anti-piracy technology designed to verify that the product has been legitimately licensed. Unlocking codes are not required for licenses acquired by a customer through our enterprise licensing programs. This lock/unlock key codes ensure that the software cannot be registered on more than one computer at a time. After purchasing our software, an id/password is sent via email to the customer. The customer then uses this id/password to register the software. If the customer does not have an Internet connection, they can simply send us the computer code and we send back the unlock code.

Sales Tax
Any sales and use taxes are the purchaser's responsibility in their state and/or country of domicile. Prices and terms are subject to change without notice.
