This computer is used primarily by a single person. Desktop is not a server (where multiple users access it through the network) nor a kiosk (where multiple users access the computer itself).

      "Desktop Application" is an application built using the Software which is intended to be deployed on Desktops only. Any system or a part of a system which is deployed on both a Desktops and Servers it is not a Desktop Application. Software that is distributed in a bundled form with some specific hardware, it is not a Desktop Application.

If the Server runs in a development, quality assurance, or staging environment, under certain circumstances, free licenses may be granted.

    • Development environment deployment license. If the web application is developed on a web server, as well as local workstations, you may request a free deployment license for the particular server. The free development environmental deployment license offer is conditional on the purchase of the appropriate number of SDK license for the development team.

      Development server may not be used in production environment, unless a separate server deployment license has been purchased.

    • Quality Assurance (QA)/staging deployment license. If you deploy the web application on a QA or staging web server, you may request a free deployment license for this Server. The free QA/staging environment deployment license offer is conditional on the purchase of an appropriate number of production server licenses.

      QA/staging server shall not be used in the production environment unless a separate server deployment license has been purchased.

    • Kiosk deployment license. "Kiosk" is defined as a non-user computer which is accessed by multiple persons who run the application that utilizes the Software. Most Kiosks are located in public places.
