Licensing MegaMatcher 3.0 / 3.1 SDK components

For MegaMatcher Accelerator, please see Licensing MegaMatcher Accelerator.

Note: this document is intended only for existing customers of MegaMatcher 3.0 / 3.1 SDK. Information about licensing MegaMatcher 4.0 / 4.1 / 4.2 / 4.3 SDK is available here.

Integrators can develop only an end-user product using MegaMatcher SDK and sell/install the product to their own customers. If the integrator wants to develop and sell a MegaMatcher based development tool (with API, programming possibilities, programming samples, etc.), he/she will need a permission from Neurotechnology and shall sign a special VAR agreement.

To deploy the product that was developed with MegaMatcher 3.0 / 3.1 SDK, the integrator should obtain only additional MegaMatcher component licenses for product installations. Also the additional MegaMatcher component licenses may be required during development of the product. The additional MegaMatcher 3.0 / 3.1 component licenses can be obtained by MegaMatcher 3.0 / 3.1 SDK customers at any time.

MegaMatcher 3.0 / 3.1 components are:

• MegaMatcher Cluster Server
• MegaMatcher Cluster Node
• MegaMatcher Server
• MegaMatcher Client

A license for a MegaMatcher component is required for each PC or each server CPU that runs this component. The following license types are available:

• Single computer license.
• Concurrent network license
• Enterprise license.

Prices for MegaMatcher 3.0 / 3.1 component licenses for the existing MegaMatcher 3.0 / 3.1 SDK customers are available here after providing a valid SDK Reference ID.

Please, also refer to MegaMatcher 3.1 SDK Software License Agreement for all licensing terms and conditions.

Single computer licenses

A single computer license allows to install and run a MegaMatcher component installation on a single Personal Computer or on one Server CPU. The license will not be lost if computer will be reinstalled.

The following license management options are available:

• license activation online by communicating with Neurotechnology's server;
• license activation by email;
• license activation using volume license manager;
• license management using volume license manager on LAN or Internet.

Single computer license activated over Internet or by email is not suitable for virtual environments. Volume license manager used as a dongle or license management over network would be required.

Concurrent network licenses

MegaMatcher Client concurrent license allows to install MegaMatcher Client components on an unlimited number of computers. Volume license manager is used to manage these licenses across the computers connected to the LAN or Internet. Application should obtain MegaMatcher Client license for capturing process and to perform template creation (extraction). In average it takes 10-20 seconds for face capturing/enrolling and 0.1-0.2 sec for fingerprint enrolling. After this time license can be released to be available for another user. Even one MegaMatcher Client concurrent license can be shared among tens or hundreds of users.

The allowed number of simultaneously running MegaMatcher Client component instances is limited by the number of obtained concurrent licenses which are stored in the volume license manager dongle. Additional licenses can be obtained at any time and put inside the existing dongle.

This type of licensing is especially useful for web-based software.

Volume license manager

Volume license manager is used on site by integrators or end users to manage obtained licenses for MegaMatcher components. It consists of license management software and a dongle, which are used to store the number of obtained licenses. An integrator or an end-user can use the volume license manager in the following ways:

• Activating the single computer licenses. An installation license for a MegaMatcher component will be activated for using on a particular computer. The license quantity in the license manager will be decreased by the amount of activated licenses.
• Managing the single computer or concurrent licenses on LAN or Internet. The license manager allows to manage installation licenses for MegaMatcher components across the computers on LAN or Internet. The number of managed licenses is limited by the number of licenses in the license manager. No license activation is needed and the license quantity is not decreased. Once issued, the license is assigned to certain computer on the network.
• Using a license manager as a dongle. The volume license manager containing at least one license for a MegaMatcher component can be used as a dongle that allows to run the MegaMatcher component on a particular computer.

Additional MegaMatcher component licenses for the license manager can be purchased anytime. Neurotechnology will generate a special update code and send it to you. Then you will just have to enter the code to the license manager to add these purchased licenses.
