Please note that sales of licenses for CodonCode Aligner are governed by the terms of the Software License Agreement that is displayed when you install CodonCode Aligner, and also available as a PDF file inside the "CodonCode Aligner" folder and here. The license agreement is non-negotiable - the legal and technical costs of changing license terms would be much higher that the cost of a license, however reasonable a request for changes might be. Single User LicensesCodonCode Aligner licenses are single user licenses. For each single user license you purchase, you can receive one install key, which allow use of CodonCode Aligner on a specific computer. If you plan to use CodonCode Aligner on different computers, you instead request a license server license. License Server LicenseThe License Server licenses allow you to install CodonCode Aligner on an unlimited number of computers, but limit the number of concurrent users to the number of licenses you purchased. The License Server for CodonCode Aligner is a separate program that is installed on one computer that acts as the license key server. Other computer that want to run Aligner can check out keys from the License Server over the network. The License Server also allows checking out of extended keys for overnight or travel use. For more information about the Aligner License Server, visit the License Server page. The price for license server licenses is the same as the price for Single User Licenses. Install KeysTo use CodonCode Aligner, you need a valid license key ("install key"), which is hardware-specific. To obtain an install key, you must first install CodonCode Aligner, and then request the key by sending the "computer ID", as reported in the license dialog, to CodonCode Corporation. For each single user license, you can receive one install key, which allows you to install Aligner on one specific computer. If you need to use the software on more than one computer, you should purchase a License Server license instead of a Single User License (the price is the same). Replacement Install KeysOccasionally, you may need a replacement install key, for example if you purchase a new computer, or replace the hard drive on your computer. Replacement install keys will generally be issued free of charge (within reason). Replacement keys cannot be used when the original keys are still being used - trying to use an original install key and a replacement key will invalidate one or both keys. Replacement install keys will be issued while you have a current update and support agreement, and for up to two years after your update and support agreement has expired. If you choose not to use the annual maintenance option and need a new license key more than three years after your initial purchase, there will be an administrative fee for each replacement license key issued. Other LicensesWe also offer site licenses and license packages for entire departments and universities. Prices depend on the number of concurrent users and install keys.
