Full source code

The Enterprise edition includes the full source code of WCF-Xtensions, FastInfoset.NET and DotNetCompression.

Source code availability helps you debug easier your applications and provides business continuity assurance without the need for an escrow service. It also enables you to embed WCF-Xtensions right into your software; more details are provided in the "Distribution" section that follows.

Royalty-free distribution

Once your software is ready, and depending on whether you have licensed the Professional or the Enterprise edition, you can distribute to your end users the Redistributables or the Embedded Code without paying any per-server, per-client or other type of runtime fees.

Redistributables

The Redistributables are assemblies that are included both in the Professional edition and in the Enterprise edition and are specially designated as Redistributables. You can distribute the Redistributables to end users in conjunction with and as an inseparable part of your software. End users cannot further distribute the Redistributables or use them in any software that they create.

Embedded Code

The Embedded Code is created by compiling the source code included in the Enterprise editions in combination with the source code of your software in such a manner that the compiled code of WCF-Xtensions becomes an integral and indistinguishable part of the compiled code of your software. You can distribute the Embedded Code to end users in conjunction with and as an inseparable part of your software. If you wish, you can permit end users of your software to further redistribute the Embedded Code either as part of your software or as part of derivate works of your software that they create. You can even create software components that use the Embedded Code. Using Embedded Code also enables you to hide the use of WCF-Xtensions, avoid dependencies on the Redistributables, reduce loading time and sign all assemblies with your own keys.

Support and maintenance

Both editions include an initial subscription at no extra cost. A subscription provides you with Premium Support and Upgrade Protection while your subscription is active. For the Professional editions the duration of the included initial subscription is six months, for the Enterprise editions it is twelve months.

Premium Support

Premium Support offers you technical support for an unlimited number of issues. Whether you need assistance in using WCF-Xtensions, want to report a problem or would like to request new functionality, Premium Support is there for you.

By improving your understanding of the available technologies, how they affect your design and how to make best use of them, Premium Support can also provide you with valuable assistance in building better systems and help you make more informed decisions.

Upgrade Protection

Upgrade Protection entitles you to freely download the latest versions of WCF-Xtensions during the term of your subscription. Free access to all releases, including minor updates and major upgrades, ensures that you can maintain WCF-Xtensions up-to-date and never miss its newest functionality.

More information on subscriptions and how they can be renewed is available here.
