Problem: licensing questions Solution: Q1) Does the customer have to buy a copy of the Developer Client for each machine that the client is to run on? A1) No, the customer needs to have purchased ONE copy of the Developers toolkit . The customer is then able to install the Developers toolkit on as many machines as necessary. The license restrictions will be enforced on the server (through the users limit). If the customer purchased the 5-user NT server (WI-V4.2.1) or the 4-user Win95 server (WI-V4.2.1) they get a copy of the 32-bit developer's toolkit. If the customer purchased the the 5-user NT server (NI-V4.0A(4) kit or the Novell server (NW-V4.0A(4)) they get a copy of the 16-bit developers toolkit. Q2) If the customer develops an application with Delphi/CBuilder C/S do they have to buy client licenses for InterBase for each machine that they wish to deploy this (client) application? A2) No, To deploy the application they need to have purchased a copy of the Developers toolkit. Since the C/S version comes with a copy of the Developers toolkit no additional licenses are required. See Question 1. Q3) If a developer has Delphi/CBuilder C/S and wants to develop InterBase applications with other client tools (Visual Basic, Visual C++, ...) do they need to buy a copy of the Developers toolkit? A3) No, the C/S version of Delphi/CBuilder comes with a copy of the Developer's toolkit so the customer has rights to develop client applications with any client tool that works with the client kit.
