Q   How is BrowserHawk licensed?

A   A purchased license of BrowserHawk is required for each production machine BrowserHawk is installed on.

Development-only licenses for use in development and QA are provided for FREE with the purchase of any BrowserHawk license for production machine(s). Please note that development licenses have usage restrictions.

The number of CPUs running on the machine does not matter. For example, if you have a production machine with 4 CPUs, only one license is required for that machine.

Note: If you run multiple instances of an operating system (using MS Virtual Server, VMware etc) on a production server, a separate purchased license is required for each instance of the operating system on that machine that you install BrowserHawk into.

Here are some sample scenarios:

  • If you have one development machine and one production machine where BrowserHawk will be installed, you only need to purchase one license for your production machine, and can use the development-only license for free on your development machine.

  • If you run multiple web sites on the same physical machine, only one purchased license is needed for that machine, and you may install the development-only version on BrowserHawk on one or more of your development or staging machines.

  • If you have a web farm consisting of 3 production machines and one staging machine, each production machine in the web farm needs its own purchased license. Typically the usage restrictions placed on the development-only license of BrowserHawk will not interfere with testing on a staging or QA server, in which case you can use the development-only license on your staging/QA machine. You may also install the development-only version on BrowserHawk on one or more of your development machines at no chrage.

  • If you have one production machine with 3 instances of an operating system installed, a total of 3 purchased licenses are needed for that machine if you are installing BrowserHawk within each instance of the operating system. Development-only licenses of BrowserHawk may be installed at no charge on your development machines.

Volume pricing is available for multiple licenses ordered together. The online order system will automatically apply these discounts based on your volume.
