Desktop licences are priced by the machines whose browser runs your Java applications, and the price per desktop falls as your desktop count rises.
Often priced by your total employee count, across the whole organisation.
Priced by the desktops that open your Java applications.
Desktop licences. Count the machines whose browser opens EBS or Forms through CheerpJ. For up to 20 desktops, you can buy Desktop online. Above 20, Enterprise (Desktop) is priced on volume and includes the self-hosted build.
A physical or virtual machine whose browser runs CheerpJ, such as a desktop, laptop, thin client, tablet or virtual desktop. One person using two laptops counts as two desktops.
One product or service under one name, built with CheerpJ, including its versions, editions and modules.
Your Application licence covers the people who use your product. If your customers host the product themselves, add an OEM licence to your Enterprise licence, and you pay for the customers who switch CheerpJ on.
The licence follows who uses the application. A Desktop licence covers the Applet Runner, JNLP Runner and CheerpJ Core on that desktop.
Non-commercial open-source projects can use the Community licence by loading CheerpJ from our CDN and showing a “Built with CheerpJ” credit. Projects backed by a company that sells support, hosting or a paid edition use Small Business or Enterprise.
