License Prices

 

License policy

 

The prices are scaled. The number of reference objects in the database determines which scale is applied. These objects differ from function to function, for example,

·         in project management, they are the project tasks, and

·         in PLANTA Sales the offers and orders

 

Dependence on the number of reference objects

A PLANTA license is a server license, with usage-dependent prices. The prices are based on the planning volume, i.e. the total number of the activities or tasks in all projects which are to be planned at the same time.

 

If additional reference objects (tasks for PLANTA Project, projects for PLANTA Portfolio, etc) are required, a license for a higher task volume must be purchased. If the customer has a maintenance contract, only the difference between the license price already paid and the price for the new task volume is charged, based on the currently valid price list. If a maintenance contract was not concluded, the license price for the higher task volume is charged.

 

Multi-user mode

In multi-user mode, a PLANTA license can be used with exactly one server database. The following factors do not affect the license price:

·         Number of users

·         Computers used

·         Operating systems used

·         Local or remote network operation

 

Benefits

 

Experience shows that in a project management environments there are generally a few staff responsible for planning a project and many involved in its execution. One of the tasks of the latter group is to report back the progress of the project.

 

For organizations in this situation, PLANTA license policy implies:

• any number of update reporters or project staff can use the software without additional costs;
• the number of project staff can be increased in accordance with company- or project-specific requirements;
• even staff from other organizations or companies who are working on the project can enter working hours for the planned projects;
• even small software applications pay for themselves in a short time.
