INGEAR ActiveX Controls
There are 2 areas that need to be addressed with regards to the INGEAR ActiveX Components

Development Licenses

• A license is required for each computer on which you plan to use the INGEAR ActiveX component in your development environment.
• The Single Computer License does not give you the right to distribute your application, so make sure that you have at least one Developer license before you purchase a Single Computer License (unless you never plan on distributing your application).

Runtime Licenses (Applies only to Runtime Free License)

• With your purchase of a Developer License you receive the rights to distribute the INGEAR ActiveX component with your compiled custom application that uses the component in runtime mode. Provided that you meet the tests for certain restricted application types outlined below, there are no limits on the number of times you can distribute your custom application without purchasing additional licenses.
• The Runtime Free license is intended for the following usage types:
• System integrators building custom applications for their clients
• End users developing applications for distribution to a number of computers within their plant or company (i.e corporate engineering writing an application for use in all the company's plants)
• Machinery OEMs developing software applications that are installed with and used to manage and/or operate their machinery. Machinery OEMs typically develop an application and then ship a copy with each machine they sell.
• The Runtime Free license is NOT INTENDED for the following usage types:
• Inclusion in commercial HMI software that you are developing. Commercial HMI software means packages that would be considered to compete for business with products like Wonderware, Intellution, Iconics, etc.
