Fair Licensing
PaperCut's licensing policy is well established
and has changed little in over 10 years. It was
set initially by the development team (not the marketing
department!) with the aim of ensuring that the licensing
model "does not get in your way or dictate
your technology choices as an administrator".
Licensing is based on the number of users in the
database/organization and hence is proportional
to the organization's IT budget. Traditionally server
based applications have been licensed on a per-server
basis, however this model encourages organizations
to
- overload servers
- centralize towards single points of failure,
and
- discourages best practice such as setting
up duplicate testing and production servers/VMs.
PaperCut is supplied as a true enterprise-wide
flexible license:
Our license is flexible, will accommodate your
technology and architectures choices, and will
grow with your IT infrastructure.
Fair Use
PaperCut is packed full of customization
options such as the ability to customize the
web interface or develop 3rd party extensions.
We have fully documented and transparent APIs.
We do charge for services such as tailoring of
the end-user web interface, but also equally make
the same features available to you so you can
opt to undertake this work yourself at no additional
cost.
Fair Development
PaperCut NG is a mature and stable print control
application, but remains under active development
to ensure it remains modern
and featureful. The release
history is testament to the speed at which new
features are added. Our development is prioritized
based on customers' requests. The more requests
we get for a feature the higher it's pushed up
the list. We're also transparent in the way we
approach our development. Our source code is available
to our customers - nothing proves the quality
of an application more than the code underneath!
Our developers also maintain a blog so you can
follow what they're up to behind the scenes. |
