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 6.2 and later, unless specifically revoked in the future. No other license agreements apply to SSE Setup v6.2 and later unless specifically stated in the future. All previous license agreements are hereby non-applicable and are revoked for SSE Setup v6.2 and greater.

For the purpose of this agreement, starting after this paragraph, the term "SSE Setup" by itself shall refer to all installers and uninstallers created using the SSE Setup Launchpad, SSE Setup Booster, SSE Setup Manual Editor and SSECreateDist.exe programs, as well as to the SSE Setup Internet Update Module. The term "SSE Setup Package" shall refer to the entire collection of programs and tools that have been installed onto your computer by the SSE Setup program installer, including, but not limited to, SSE Setup Launchpad, SSE Setup Booster, SSE Setup Manual Editor, and SSECreateDist.exe.

SSE Setup is completely free for distribution with non-commercial FREE programs AS LONG AS they are created by you the user and are not in any way tied to a company, business, not-for-profit, or educational institution. By FREE, I mean you must not be charging ANYTHING for the program or full usage of the program (Shareware is NOT free). In this scenario, you have the right to distribute SSE Setup for free with the program for the purposes of installing/uninstalling/updating the program.

Otherwise, it's not free - because if you're gonna be makin' money with your software, I wanna be makin' money with mine...Fair, right?

The price to use SSE Setup for commercial programs is VERY REASONABLE and less than most other setup packages. 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 for now and evermore (NOT just for 1 version series like some people/businesses try to do). 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 employed by the business. $49.95 1-time payment for royalty-free usage of SSE Setup with as many programs as the company would like. Those using the SSE Setup Package must be employed by the company in question and SSE Setup may only be distributed with company-sanctioned software. Payment also allows any employees of the company to use ANY future versions of the SSE Setup Package, if any, on behalf of the company, 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 1-time payment for royalty-free usage of SSE Setup with as many commercial programs as the user would like. Your payment also allows you to use ANY future versions of the SSE Setup Package, if any, at no additional charge.

IF SSE Setup is distributed with 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 to the SSE Setup Package.

It has always been the goal to make SSE Setup a stable installation and uninstallation program.

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.
