Active Query Builder » Purchase
All editions of Active Query Builder are sold based on a subscription model. This means that when you purchase one of our products, you receive 12 months of free updates for that product from the date of purchase, be it a minor service update or a major new version. After the 12-month period, and at your discretion, you can pay about 30% of the original price to "renew" the subscription and receive another 12 months of free updates. If you choose to not renew, you can continue using the last version that you obtained or are eligible to use. The 12-month time frame is merely for new versions/updates and has no relevance to the rights of use (as long as the EULA is not violated).
That's right. A license must be obtained for each developer who needs to install Active Query Builder for development purposes (to debug, write code, compile, etc.), even if some of them aren't directly involved in writing code using Active Query Builder API.
Having a license assigned, the developer can install it on one PC at work and additionally he can install it on a solely owned home PC or laptop using it only to continue performing corporate tasks when out of office or at home. If the developer must install it on several work PCs, a license must be obtained for each work PC. A license should NOT be purchased for automated build servers on which the component must be installed only to compile the project in the unattended mode.
Yes, you can.
Absolutely. You can continue to use products that you have licensed and paid for as long as you require. When a subscription expires, it simply means that you will no longer be issued any product updates or new product releases.
If no development is performed on the build machine and its sole purpose is to generate actual builds of your products, then no you do not need to purchase a separate license for the build machine. If, however, a developer uses the build machine for development purposes and this developer does not have a valid license to the products, then yes, you must acquire a separate license for this case.

We have been using Active Query Builder for over a year and must say that both the product and support have been outstanding!
We chose Active Query Builder due to its flexibility and features, but have been truly pleased by its power and hidden capabilities. ...
In summary Active Query Builder provides excellent components, great support and a very flexible feature set. It has allowed us to provide features to our end users that I did not think would be possible in the first release of our new tools and in a timeframe that was much shorter than planned. I would recommend that anyone dealing with databases in the .Net world should be aware of this component and its capabilities!
