HyperXtreme Licensing
HyperXtremeSQL licenses are inexpensive and available in packages. Separate licenses are available for internal use of the engine by the customer or for redistribution as part of an application or software solution. The licenses are based on the role performed by the computer hosting HXSQL: server or desktop. Each package includes some basic or extended support.
Evaluation copies:
Evaluation licenses for the PDA and CDC version are available only upon payment for at least an extended support package (SUP-002-BAS). The payment is refunded when licenses for PDA use are paid for. Free evaluation licenses for desktop and server use (valid for two months) are available to established companies that plan to use or distribute the equivalent of the LIC-020-200-EXT or above. These licenses cover only the JDK 1.4 version of the software. Please inquire including a description of your application and required number of licenses. Email address hxsql(at)cluedup.com.

Details:
A Server host is defined as a host that has multiple simultaneous connections to other hosts or clients, or that performs a central part in a client server setup. Up to 10 JDBC clients or unlimited web clients clients can connect to a Server host. Each additional JDBC client requires a desktop license.
A Desktop host is defined as a host that acts as a personal computer.
There is no extra charge for more than one instance of HXSQL running on a server host.
Examples of the use of one server license.
- One or more instances of HXSQL run in client-server mode on one server box. Several applications connect to this server.
- A server box hosts a number of web applications each running an embedded (in-process) instances of HXSQL.
- A desktop computer is used to establish network links with multiple hosts and gather information to store in a local instance of HXSQL (a web crawler is an example). Or a desktop computer processes large amounts of data and returns the results to the server. In these case, the desktop computer is counted as a server host.
Example of the use of one desktop license
- A desktop application connects to HXSQL on the same box using the embedded or client server mode.
