COMMERCIAL LICENSE:
-------------------
This license must be obtained for any use that will result in a software product which is free of the registration prompt and is intended for sale or distribution with intent to sell;  or for deployment in any installation for which service or product charges would be due.  

One license is valid for one developer only. Please ensure that each individual user of the source code or components is properly licensed.  Site licenses may also be negotiated at discount. 

The initial purchase of an IBO license entitles the licensee to download the IBO source and all updates for 12 months from the time of registration.  After the initial 12 months, the licensee may continue to download updates or new versions of the IBO source by purchasing a source update subscription for each six months of downloading.

If the licensee settles on a particular version of IBO and no longer requires source updates, no further subscription is required.  Lapsed subscriptions may recommence in six-monthly periods at any future point if the licensee chooses to begin upgrading again.  

Additional copies of the source and components are permitted only for backup or archiving purposes. 

Under no circumstances is it permissible to disclose protected source to any unlicensed party without express permission from the author. 

Compiled software incorporating IB Objects is free of deployment royalties except such products as may be considered to compete with IB Objects in some capacity.  Please contact the author if you have any questions regarding this.
