GSB purchase & licensing questions
GSB Licensing questions.
GSB is licensed per physical computer. You can run as many managers / standalone's / workers as you desire.
Licenses can be moved to another PC should you upgrade to a new PC / Server.
Additional licenses are $400 each, or $300 when you purchase GSB.
GSB by default will not run on a virtual machine. If you need this done, please contact support. VM's tend to have poor CPU availability, so not highly recommended.
A GSB licenses enabled you to run GSB forever. However updates are for one year from purchase. If software maintenance is not bought after one year, you may use the last version that was released at your maintenance expiry date.
The private forum is also available for GSB purchases for the first year after a purchase, and GSB users with active software maintenance.
Maintenance cost is $200 per year for the first GSB licenses, and $50 per additional license. The logic behind maintenance is it makes an incentive to improve GSB, and pay for ongoing support.
Terms and conditions of maintenance may be subject to change.
Please do not buy GSB without using the 14 day trial version first. There is no option to refund once you have bought GSB and have private forum access.
