Thank you for considering Document Engine. Licensing for Document Engine operates on a subscription model. Several factors affect the price: the required components, whether our frontend SDKs are integrated, the number of users, and the number of documents processed.
If you’re interested in licensing our product, contact Sales.
Deployment
Document Engine offers two types of licenses:
- Online license
- Offline license
Online license
Online licenses are available for some Document Engine deployments. When an online license is purchased, Document Engine pings the Nutrient Licensing Service to verify its license and download updated license information. It also sends anonymous usage analytics to the Nutrient Licensing Service. These analytics help us in diagnosing issues and improving the product.
Offline license
When an offline production license is purchased, Document Engine doesn’t ping the Nutrient Licensing Service, nor does it collect any analytics. You must handle any license updates manually and restart the Document Engine instance.
License activation
Follow our product activation guide to learn how to activate your license.
Product-specific
Once purchased, Document Engine works only for headless server-side processing. To use Document Engine with other Nutrient products, such as our frontend SDKs, license those products as well.
Component selection
Components are the smallest licensable part of Nutrient, and they come with a set of unique features. When you license a component, you license its entire feature set, whether you use one component feature or all of them. The features list covers the capabilities available across the Nutrient SDKs. Nutrient licenses many capabilities as two separate components: one for the viewer and one for the server-side API. Digital Signatures and the Digital Signatures API are one such pair. Refer to the capability and component comparison for the full list and which deployments each component applies to.
License agreement
By downloading and evaluating the Nutrient SDK demo, you accept the terms of the evaluation license agreement.
To purchase Nutrient, the company that owns the end product/app must sign a license contract. We use DocuSign for a fast and secure digital signing experience. If you require a physical copy of a contract, we can accommodate this need as well. Licensing runs on a per-year basis. You can’t change this to a monthly license.
Agreement modifications
Nutrient licenses technology to a large number of companies, so we keep contract modifications to a minimum. Modifications incur additional management and reviewing overhead. Our quote assumes acceptance of our standard license agreement. We’re somewhat flexible; however, making changes to a contract will take more time and likely increase your cost. As we’re an Austria-based company, the place of jurisdiction is Vienna, Austria.
License key management
Customers set up Document Engine with an activation key or a license key obtained from the Nutrient Portal(opens in a new tab). If an online license was purchased, Document Engine pings the Nutrient Licensing Service for license updates, such as new components or expiration date changes. If an offline license was purchased, manually fetch any license updates from the Nutrient Portal, install the new key, and restart the Document Engine instance.
Updating your Nutrient Web SDK license
You can safely update your license without updating to the newest Nutrient Web SDK version.
