Single User Licenses
CodonCode Aligner licenses can either be single user licenses, or license server licenses.
Single user licenses are bound to one specific computer. For each single user license you purchase, you can receive one install key.
If you plan to use CodonCode Aligner on different computers, you instead request a license server license.
License Server License
The 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 Keys
To 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 Keys
Occasionally, 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 Licenses
We also offer site licenses and license packages for entire departments and universities. Prices depend on the number of concurrent users and install keys. For a custom quote, please send email to:
