LICENSING
Single Product License
A Single Product License enables the user to embed a Micriµm component into one end product, which can be manufactured in any quantity spanning the life of that end product. This license is specific to the processor used AND the specific name and model of the end product. Thus, a separate license is required for each different end product (i.e. model) that embeds the Micriµm component regardless of the end product being in the same family as a previously licensed end product using a different model number or processor type. The general rule is that if you conisder it a separate product, so do we. A Single Product License includes free updates, as well as phone and email support for 90 days.
Examples:
Single product = single model of a TV, HDTV, DVD player, network switch, network router, etc. If different only by color, then it is considered the same end prouduct.
Product Line License
A Product Line License allows the user to embed a Micriµm component into any number of end products within a product family and manufacture an unlimited number of units of each of these products for the life of the end product within the product family. This is a royalty-free license but is applicable to all end products that do similar functions within the same product family. The license includes free updates, phone and email support for one year for two users.
Examples:
Product lines = HDTVs, DVD players, MP3 players, washing machines, GSM cell phones, PDAs, network switches, network routers, etc.
CPU-Type License
A CPU-Type License allows the user to embed a Micriµm component into any number of end products using a single and specific processor type (e.g. 68HC12, 80x86, ARM7, ARM9, ColdFire, MicroBlaze, Nios II, PowerPC, Cortex, etc.). The license holder may manufacture an unlimited number of units of each of these proudts for the life of the end product that used the specific licensed processor type from a specific manufacturer (Atmel, Freescale, Xilinx, etc.). This license includes free updates, phone and email support for one year for two users.
Examples
Per-CPU Type End Products = A combination of all of the following as long as they ALL use the same processor from the same manufacturer: HDTV, DVD players, MP3 players, etc.
Site License
A Site License allows the user to embed a Micriµm component into any end product that uses any CPU as long as the products are designed from a single site. The user is able to manufacture an unlimited number of units from any location worldwide.
A site is defined as a physical location: a building or series of related buildings within a two-mile radius. Multiple Site Licenses are required should a company have multiple design facilities. Site Licenses are not transferable. This license includes free updates, and phone and email support for one year for three users.
Maintenance Policy
Maintenance charges for each 12-month period are 20% of the total license price, for any and all licensing types. Accounts are billed annually.
