licenses | | PLT Tools is available in two versions: an unlicensed (unregistered) version for which there is no fee a licensed (registered) version for which there is an annual fee | | | Why You Should Obtain a License for PLT Tools -
Almost all features of the licensed version are available in the unlicensed version. Major differences are: -
- Graphics: In the registered version, each page contains a footer indicating the name of the company orinstitution that holds the license followed by "(Confidential)". In the unregistered version, this footer is replaced with "Unregistered Version of PLT Tools (Register at PLTsoft.com)".
- Support: With the registered version, complete support is available via email or phone with no fee. In the unregistered version, support is generally not provided. However, during the introductory period, support may be provided for unregistered versions.
- Modes of operation: The registered version supports simultaneous NONMEM runs. A networked version requires registration plus a supplemental fee.
How to Obtain a License for PLT Tools -
- We recommend that you install PLT Tools and test at least one example using the unregistered version before you purchase a license. This ensures that there will be no installation issues on your computer(s). Once a license is purchased, no refunds will be provided.
- Download the order form and email it to sales@PLTsoft.com. An invoice will be emailed to you.
- After the invoice is received, payment can be completed via individual or corporate check, credit card, or bank transfer. Once payment is complete, you will be issued a license code valid for one year. Temporary (short-term) licenses can be arranged pending payment.
Installing a PLT Tools License -
- Initial License: Annual, renewable, licenses are obtained from PLTsoft Inc. License fees are shown in the table. Once the license fee is paid and the user has provided the text to replace "COMPANYNAME" in the footer "COMPANYNAME (confidential)", a license key will be provided. The user enters the license key once and the software is licensed for one year. In order to ensure that the software works successfully on your computer, we recommend that the user install and test the software before requesting a license key.
- License Renewal: Approximately six weeks before a license is about to expire, the registered user (and the Accounting Department, if contact information has been provided) will be contacted via email with a renewal form. If the license is not renewed by the due date, an interim license can be arranged for a supplemental fee, pending payment of the full fee. Once the license has lapsed, the software reverts to the unregistered version.
License Procedures for Related Software -
- NONMEM: Use of PLT Tools requires a valid license for NONMEM. The user is responsible for obtaining and maintaining this license and software. NONMEM licenses can be obtained from Icon Development Solutions.
- Graphics Engine: R (free download at www.R-project.org) is required in conjunction with PLT Tools to run NONMEM, organize folders and files, perform statistics and create graphics.
