Web Connection is available in two licensing modes: Single server developer, and various sizes of runtime distributions. Developer Licensing for West Wind Web Connection is on a per physical server basis and per developer basis.

For current pricing for both developer and runtime licenses please check our product pricing page.

Single Developer License

The full developer license comes with a single developer license and a live server license so you can develop your application on your local machine and deploy it on a single live server. The developer license provides full source code to the FoxPro framework code and is required for any further runtime or developer licenses to be applied. Any additional developers require either another developer license or a runtime license as outlined below.

Runtime and Additional Developer Licensing

Runtime licensing is available by purchasing a runtime license pack which comes in sizes from 5 to unlimited distributions. A Runtime license can only be purchased in addition to at least one full developer license as the runtime licenses do not come with any distributables - it's just a license pack.

Runtime licenses may also be applied against additional developers on a team with one license per developer required.

A runtime license allows distribution of a compiled Web Connection application and distribution of any of the binary files included with Web Connection. No portions of the Web Connection framework may be re-distributed as source code without a full developer license. Runtime applications can make use of any of the framework classes supplied by the Web Connection framework including the HTML rendering classes and support tools as long as distributed in compiled form (APP/EXE).

Applications built with a distribution license must add significant value and cannot be in competition with the Web Connection development product. The Message Board and Offline Reader applications of Web Connection are excluded from any runtime agreement and may not be re-distributed in volume. A separate license agreement and pricing applies to redistribution of the message board application.

You may modify the source code and visual appearance of the Visual FoxPro Web Connection framework. Regardless of any changes made to the framework itself, it remains copyright of West Wind Technologies. Modification of any non Visual FoxPro binary files is not allowed.
