I am interested in a developers link removal key. Do you have a detailed specification sheet on the rights for the developer link removal key? On how it works, what you can and cannot do.
The question I have is. I have my own company, and I have a partnership/ownership with another. So I really own 1 ˝ companies. Will the developer link removal key be leased to me or a company? I would like to be able to use this package were ever I go. |

What you can and con not do is setout in the license agreement:- http://www.webwiz.net/includes/License.txt - http://www.webwiz.net/includes/License.txt The Devloper Key would belong to your company, rather than yourself. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

In the post you reply to in the ‘ http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=15123&TPN=1 - Mod Rights ’
“your own software.” What dose that applies to. Example if I develop a site for a client and they wish to have a forum intergraded into the site. Is that website considered my own software? |

i can't speak for boRg, but as you created it it is your software and the client has bought it. so in theory yes its yours because you made it but its under creation for the client . for example bill gates doesn't make all the Micriosoft applications himself he gets computer engineers to make it on hiis behalf etc... they get paid to make it for him. so in thory it is your software as you made it , but you actually made it for the client . the client would be Bill gates (and share holdsers) but boRg will have to have final say so.. i think it might be under liecene for the client and not you.. but as your selling the item you maybe able to sell under your own. |

| So the client will have to pay to have the link removed from the forum even if I have a developer’s license. |

Although the license agreement states that you can not redistribute the
software 'as is' and it has to be part of your own software, like as
part of a portal system, this is only to prevent people from abusing
the system and setting up a site in competition with this site that
releases forum software based on Web Wiz Forums. But for companies like web design companies, it's quite OK for them to install Web Wiz Forums on their clients sites under the Developers license. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Thank you boRg. I have no intentions in competing with you. All the products that I will be purchasing from you will be used with other software that I develop.
As long as I add my own work into it I can redistribute it, right. What about the two company problem that I have. What would be the best solution for me? I would like to use it in both companies. |

To be honest such questions for unique cases should be dealt with by private email rather than on a public forum. The license agreement states quite clearly what you can and can not do, if you wish to deviate from that written in the license agreement then you need to email the site with your requirements, to gain written permission. By agreeing on a public forum to one persons deviation from the license agreement then allows others to do the same. The official line on a public forum like this is that you must stay within the license agreement. If you email the site, through the 'contact us' section with full details of what you propose to do it will be looked at and you will have a written answer to whether it is permissible. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

-boRg-, I understand your logic however I have enjoyed this discussion greatly and it really does help me in my decision to purchase the full commercial developer license. (Still saving my pennies/pence's)
