Single-User License
A Single-User License allows installation and access for one workstation only.

Multiple User License
The user chooses the number of workstations (either stand alone or as part of a network) or, in the case of a medical surgery, the number of doctors using the software.
For example:
2 pharmacies = 2 sales outlets = 2 licenses
1 medical surgery = 1 license x number of doctors
For companies
An annual subscription price is set according to the frequency of use, the number of workstations and the specific requirements. Please contact us for further information.
For public and private institutions (University, Hospital, Clinic, Library)
Specially priced Multiple User Licenses are available for public and private institutions. The price varies according to the number of users as well as the type of use (commercial, didactic, etc.). Please contact us for further information.
