SSE Setup - License and Pricing

If your program = Free and not in any way related to a business, not-for-profit, or educational institution, and is not "Shareware": You can use SSE Setup for FREE to install the program.

Otherwise, you must purchase an inexpensive "commercial use" license, which is $29.95 (U.S.) for single-user and $49.95 (U.S.) for business. To securely purchase a license, click here

Actual License

This license agreement is the agreement governing SSE Setup version 7.0 and later, unless specifically revoked in the future. No other license agreements apply to SSE Setup v7.0 and later unless specifically stated in the future. All previous license agreements are hereby non-applicable and are revoked for SSE Setup v7.0 and greater.

Installers created by SSE Setup are completely free for your use and distribution AS LONG AS the program being installed or modified is a non-commercial FREE program created by you the user and not in any way related to a company, business, not-for-profit, or educational institution. You must not be charging ANYTHING for the program or to "unlock" full usage of the program (Shareware is NOT free).

Otherwise, it is not free because if you are going to be making money with your software, I want to be making a little bit with mine...Fair, right?

The price to use SSE Setup for commercial programs is VERY REASONABLE and substantially less than many other installer programs. Also, ONE SMALL PRICE is all that you will pay to be able to use SSE Setup with as many commercial programs as you would like and it applies for any future SSE Setup versions as well (if any) and thus you will never need to pay again! Basically, all it will take is 1 or 2 users of YOUR program to pay for YOUR program and you will have recooped your cost.

For the purposes of this license, I treat "not-for-profit" entities and educational institutions as businesses. The reason why is that they mostly are. Most "not-for-profits" and educational institutions operate very similar to traditional businesses in structure. Most "not-for-profits" do make money. If you have a unique situation, feel free to contact me - if you are reasonable with your request, you will likely find that I am reasonable as well.

There are 2 different commercial use licenses available:

1) Business license. This license is for all businesses (both small and large) and for all not-for-profit/educational institutions. The license is issued in the business name and covers any and all employees that are or will be employed by the business. $49.95 one-time payment for royalty-free usage and distribution of installers created by SSE Setup. Those using SSE Setup must be employed by the business in question and the license only is valid for business-sanctioned software. Payment also allows any employees of the business to use ANY future versions of SSE Setup, if any, on behalf of the business, at no additional charge.

2) Single-User license. This is a single-user license for only 1 user who will NOT be using SSE Setup on behalf of a business with more than 2 employees. The license is issued to a single user only (NOT a business name). $29.95 one-time payment for royalty-free usage and distribution of installers created by SSE Setup. Your payment also allows you to use ANY future versions of SSE Setup, if any, at no additional charge.

If installers created by SSE Setup install or modify a commercial program without payment being made, you will be in violation of this agreement, and legal action may be taken against you personally and/or the company which you represent (if any). I do actively pursue infringements made by individuals using SSE Setup for a commercial program of any kind without first paying the small fee to do so.

Regardless of whether you use SSE Setup for a commercial program (with payment made) or for non-commercial use, there are NO warranties expressed or implied in relation to SSE Setup, or its fitness or non-fitness for any particular situation. The following disclaimer statement applies to SSE Setup and all installers created by SSE Setup, including but not limited to components such as a program's uninstaller, the SSE Setup Internet Update Module, SSE Setup Launchpad, SSE Setup Booster, and SSECreateDist.exe.

This software is provided "as is" without any guarantees or warranty. In connection with the software, SSE Setup developer Chris Long and SSE Setup Booster developer André Beuving, make no warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, of title, or of non-infringement of third party rights. Use of the software by a user is at the user's risk and is deemed acceptance of these terms. IN NO EVENT WILL CHRIS LONG OR ANDRÉ BEUVING BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF CHRIS LONG OR ANDRÉ BEUVING HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANOTHER PARTY.

It has always been the goal to make SSE Setup a stable and reasonably error-free program. However, it is possible that mistakes may occur or that it might not correctly install or uninstall a program. The SSE Setup programmer, Chris Long, makes no warranty as to the effectiveness of SSE Setup and is NOT liable for any damages to any user's machine or for any loss of data. You are using this program at your own risk! By distributing installers created by SSE Setup that install or modify a program, you understand that you alone bear all responsibility to users of your program(s) in regards to anything related to SSE Setup. The programmer, Chris Long, bears no responsibility to any users of your program(s). In additon, the programmer, Chris Long, is not responsible for any errors in the SSE Setup documentation. Your usage of SSE Setup and/or distribution of installers created by SSE Setup means that you agree to all of this.

By purchasing a commercial use license, the ONLY rights you gain are those specifically spelled out above for the specific commercial use license you purchase. There are NO other rights, either inferred or implied. Any potential (or actual) future or past pricing changes have no bearing on THIS license - by purchasing a commercial use license - you are doing so at the prices spelled out in this license and in agreement to that. Note: The prices and licensing structure as spelled out in this license may no longer exist for purchase. The latest purchase price for licenses and type of licenses will be determined by the latest such options available at the SSE Setup website listed above.
