npanxxworld.com offers three primary licenses for our database products: a workstation (single-user) license, a corporate license and a distribution license.
The corporate license is the standard user license for our database products. It provides for unlimited use of our database products within your organization. You can copy and install the database on as many computers or networks as you wish at as many sites as you wish within your organization. The corporate license permits an unlimited number of users within your organization to access our database products simultaneously. If you incorporate some or all of our database products into a program which is used internally by people within your organization, then you need the corporate license. Likewise, if you want to incorporate our database products into a product which is accessed via the Internet, then you need the corporate license. The corporate license does not, by itself, grant you a license to sell our database products themselves nor any part of them which you may have incorporated into your products. For that you must have the distribution license.
The workstation license (single-user) is a restricted-use license intended for those situations where our database products are installed on only a single machine, at one site, and never accessed by more than one simultaneous user under any circumstances. Typically, this is a non-networked personal computer which does not share data or storage with other computers or users. The workstation license does NOT permit you to access our database products themselves or a program incorporating some or all of the database over a network or the Internet. For that you need the corporate license. Moreover, if you want to incorporate the database into a product which you intend to distribute to other people, you must have the distribution license.
The distribution license incorporates and extends our corporate license. It permits either limited or unlimited commercial and/or non-profit use and distribution of products which incorporate some or all of our database products. The distribution license applies only to the npanxxworld.com database identified by a particular purchase transaction, and only to the one version or subscription covered by that purchase. In other words, you are permitted to duplicate data received now or under a current update. But in the future if you wish to purchase an additional update you must also purchase a distribution license at that time to cover the data delivered to you under the license agreement. If you do not purchase a distribution license for the new database delivered, you are not permitted to duplicate the new database.
The distribution license permits you to incorporate some or all of our database products into a product for distribution (which we call a derivative product), but prohibits the distribution of the raw database data itself. You must add some value to the database by incorporating it into another product in order to qualify for the distribution license. We cannot and will not permit you to distribute our database products in direct competition with us.
Licensing ExamplesHere a few examples of real-life licensing situations which may help you understand our intent with regard to the licensing of our database products.
Example 1. You want to incorporate a npanxxworld.com database product into an in-house order-entry program which verifies the city-state-area code for callers placing orders for your products. The order-entry program is used by ten telephone operators.
You would need the corporate license because the database will be accessed by up to ten simultaneous users within your company, as well as by your programmers on their development machines.
Example 2. You are a one-man shop developing a dealer-locator program which you wish to sell to the web masters of web sites around the USA. You plan to extract the latitude and longitude information from a npanxxworld.com database to use in calculating the distance between telephone exchanges. You plan to demo your dealer locator on your own web site.
You need the distribution license; firstly because you will be using the data extracted from the npanxxworld.com database in a program accessible to multiple users via the Internet and secondly because you will be selling portions of the npanxxworld.com database to third parties as a part of your product.
Example 3. You want to use a npanxxworld.com database as a source to correct the area codes of customer records in your customer database. All database area code update work will be performed on a single workstation, and your customer database is maintained on a server. Your updated customer database will be available to users throughout your company.
You need only the workstation (single-user) license. The npanxxworld.com database itself will be installed on a single workstation and will NOT be directly or indirectly accessed by users in your company.
Example 4. You want to develop an application for multi-user in-house use which you may decide later to sell as a product. Your application would incorporate data extracted from a npanxxworld.com database.
Initially, you might purchase a workstation (single-user) license for database use on a single development machine. This would be sufficient during the development phase of a project. But because the final application is to be used by many people, you would eventually need to upgrade to a corporate license. Later, if you decide to sell the product to others, you would need to upgrade to a distribution license.
