#Workbench Licenses?
10 messages in this thread
What's involved in distributing an application on a self-booting albeit
stripped-down Workbench disk? Clearly a fee is due Commodore; does it
matter whether the fee is paid by the developer or by the publisher, if
these are different?

Call CATS and tell 'em you want a Workbench License and they'll send you
all the necessary forms etc. you need. It's pretty easy, and I don't think
it costs much (they like to encourage workbench licenses, from what I can
tell).
I doubt they care where they get the fee from, as long as the money's green

BTW, I have a strong suspicion that you may have to be a commercial
developer to get a workbench license…

Mike;
No, a certified developer may also buy the workbench distribution license.

Mike, I know of a number of user groups who have Workbench licenses, so
that they can distribute things to their users all set up and ready to run.
So, it certainly does not require a commercial developer to get one.
I have heard that the fee is approximately $100 per year.

Well, I guess that why I said I just suspected it 😎 So it sounds even
easier than I had thought to get a license.

Betty,
Really???? Hmmm, I tried to get our user group such a license a couple
of years ago and was told "no". I wonder when they changed their minds?

Not so Mike. If that were true, nobody could put out an application that
included the WorkBench unless they had already put out one that did not.

Do you know offhand whether the Workbench License is per-product or
per-developer or per-publisher? For example, does General Amusements Corp.
buy fifty licenses (one for each title), or five (one for each of its
senior programmers), or one (for General Amusements Corp.)?

It's a blanket-deal, unlimited copies for a particular company (for a year
I think).
