The annual subscription fees, above, are paid each year that the software is licensed. (Arrangements may be made to have this fee automatically charged to a credit-card on the license anniversary). An annually-licensed system will operate until its anniversary date, and requires Internet access from the installed computer periodically to check for updates and perform integrity checks. New versions of the system, as released by OPTIMUM Technical Support, are included in the annual license fee and are automatically downloaded and installed from the OPTIMUM Update Server over the Internet at no additional charge. Annual license fees include free first-time installation support by email. Other technical support, for example, support for OPTIMUM developers, and support by telephone, is available on a per-incident basis (please inquire).
License for offsite or 3rd-party equipment hosting
inquire (one time charge) (#WROH)
Licensing OPTIMUM for use on 3rd-party equipment, server farm, internet server, or offsite on any computer system that the End User does own or physically control within their own premises requires a written license executed in advance of installation and registration. This is a one-time fee per licensee per system that does not recur annually.

Fine Print

End users are always encouraged to maintain proper backups of their installed database system, and doing so will help to avoid Technical Support charges.

Certain events, like upgrading or re-installing a computer's operating system, may require that OPTIMUM be reloaded from backup and re-activated. OPTIMUM systems with a current annual license will be re-activated in the event of a hardware failure, hard drive re-format, server replacement, or OS upgrade when the end-user certifies that the software has been removed from the previous computer, hard disk, or server. We MAY ask that you print and execute the PDF "Affidavit of Destruction", which may be scanned and emailed to support@optimumsoft.com or hardcopy sent via US mail.

If a backup is not available, a reloaded system must be re-registered and a Technical Support Incident charge will apply. In this case, the Affidavit is required.

There is a more complete discussion and FAQ about the re-activation/re-registration process here.

We do not re-register out-of-date versions of our software, or after support for any version that has been discontinued.

OPTIMUM Runtime System binaries are delivered via Internet email (where practical) or supplied on CDROM.  Prices shown are in U.S. dollars and do not include shipping charges, local sales taxes, import duties, tariffs, licenses or other fees.
