Valentina License FAQ

Your Valentina Studio Pro license is for one user on one computer on one operating system. Some developers need to run Valentina Studio Pro on multiple operating systems. With Studio Pro UNIVERSAL, you get three licenses: macOS, Windows and Linux. While the license is for use by a single user, this allows them the ability to use their license on all three operating systems. It is not a license for three different users though.

Your Valentina Studio Pro license will continue to work with the last release during that upgrade period. If you try to use your license with a newer version of Valentina Studio, it will not work.

A free license of Valentina Studio may simply stop working, however you can request a new free license to replace it.

Yes, this is allowed, but only if you own both computers and only you are using the computers. You cannot, for example, use one computer but offer the other computer as a rental.

No, Valentina Studio licenses are operating system specific. Valentina Studio PRO UNIVERSAL actually includes three separate licenses: macOS, Windows and Linux.

The free Valentina Studio is our publicly available demo. If you need to evaluate a specific Studio PRO feature (such as Report Designer or similar), then you an request a limited time demo through a Trouble Ticket.

Yes. Many PRO features are not testable in the free Valentina Studio downloaded from the Mac App Store. The Mac App Store receives updates at a slower rate than the standard version. There are specific limits to the MAS version based on limits placed on all applications on the MAS.

Yes. Within 30 days of purchasing through the MAS, you can request from us a replacement license for free with proof of purchase. After that 30 day period, you can register your license with Paradigma Software and be able to RENEW your license later.

Yes! Go to our website menu STUDIO > Competitive Upgrade to see if your product qualifies. If it is not on the list, then ask via Trouble Ticket and we will evaluate if your current product qualifies. If it qualifies, you will be able to RENEW to Valentina Studio PRO at a substantial discount.

Yes, Valentina ADKs are licensed on a per developer basis. Your developer identification is encoded into the license. The license to use the components is to you, the developer.

If your customer wants source code along with the ability to deploy the Valentina ADK components, then they have to have a developer license too. You also would use their license in any compiled application.

No, this is not allowed under the Valentina ADK license. If you want to create this type of product, contact Paradigma Software. You can develop vertical market applications that manage data for the vertical market, as these types of applications have specific database schemas that reflect the needs of the vertical market.

VDN uses a level system based on the number of unnamed, simultaneous connections. The level is shown as a split number, such as 5/10 of 250/UNLIMITED. Lets take a look at 5/10:

The first number (5) is the maximum number of connections allowed at one time for REST requests, Valentina Reports Server and Valentina Database Server. With 5/10, this means 5 connections are available for REST requests, Valentina Reports and Valentina Database Server.

The second number (10) is only for the SQLite Server. SQLite Server supports its own, separate maximum number of simultaneous connections. With the 5/10 level, you get 10 simultaneous connections for SQLite Server.

In the case of 250/UNLIMITED, you get 250 connections to allocate for REST requests, Valentina Reports Server and Valentina Database Server, but an unlimited number of SQLite Server connections.

End users do not get support from Paradigma Software. They get support directly from the VDN subscriber.

Yes. This depends on your subscription level. For example, if you have a “5”, then the server file you deploy will support 5 connections of REPORTS / REST / VDB and 10 connections of SQLite Server.

Yes. The UNLIMITED / UNLIMITED version is a per deployment product and requires a deployment license for each customer. If you are a current, up-to-date subscriber then you can order this for your customer. It is not available if your subscription expires.

No, you can keep deploying your software. The subscription only impacts your access to newer versions of the software. If the latest version of the software was Version 12.1.1 when your subscription expires, then you can continue to include the Version 12.1.1 components with your solution.

You can do the following except if your license has been terminated for violation of its terms:

• You can continue to deploy the components that were released prior to the expiration of your VDN subscription
• You can continue to get community based technical support on the Paradigma Software forums

• You are no longer eligible to use the software updates that are released after the term expires
• You are no longer able to purchase the UNLIMITED / UNLIMITED VDN Valentina Server for your customers (you no longer have the right to resell this version of Valentina Server)

VDN subscribers told us in overwhelming numbers that it was confusing. If you subscribed to VDN before September 15, 2015, and you need additional connections under the old license, contact Technical Support. This method will not be supported after September 15, 2016.
