Licensing models

Node-locked or floating license
A VGStudio MAX node-locked license is intended for use on one specific computer. If the software is to be used on several computers, a floating license may be suitable. A floating license allows you to install VGStudio MAX on several computers with one TCP/IP network, but use it on only one computer per purchased seat license at a time. With a floating license, VGStudio MAX is supplied for all supported platforms, allowing the same software license to be used under different operating systems in heterogenous networks. Please note that the computer used as the license server must have a fixed IP address. For floating licenses with several parallel seats, each seat must have the same add-on module configuration.

VGStudio is provided only as a node-locked license.

myVGL is available as an annual license. It entitles you to copy the viewer and pass it on to customers or colleagues together with your .vgl files during one year.

Update/service contract
An annual Update/service contract is available for both VGStudio and VGStudio MAX. An Update/service contract covers the following services:

An account on the Volume Graphics Web Server is created for holders of Update/service contracts from which the latest versions of the software as well as information, demos and tutorials can be downloaded.

Short-term bug fixing: Any bug in VGStudio/VGStudio MAX reported by the holder of an Update/service agreement will be fixed by Volume Graphics with highest priority. The resulting availability of any VGStudio/VGStudio MAX update outside regular releases will be automatically communicated to all holders of an Update/service agreement. The update may then be downloaded from the Volume Graphics web server.

All new versions released during the term of an Update/service contract will be provided free of charge to all holders of a valid update/service contract. 

An Update/service contract is the most cost-efficient way to keep your VGStudio/VGStudio MAX license up to date.
