pricing changes

Note that new pricing is being introduced with the release of Pulse 2.1. These changes will take effect from the 7th of March 2010. Refer to our Pulse 2.1 Pricing page for details.

how is Pulse licensed?

Pulse is licensed on a per server basis. This means that you will require a separate license for each Pulse installation. We provide a variety of both commercial and free licenses to meet the needs of our customers.

Commercial licenses are fully-featured licenses that include 1 year of upgrades and priority support. All commercial licenses support an unlimited number of users and projects. Pricing for commercial licenses is based on the number of remote agents the license will allow.

Free licenses are also available, but are limited in the number of projects, users and remote agents that they support.

purchasing a license

Our online payments are processed securely by PayPal. PayPal accepts Visa and MasterCard as well as payments from PayPal accounts. Please note that you do not need a PayPal account to make a payment.

We also accept a variety of offline payments including cheques and money transfers. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us.

upgrading licenses

If you have already purchased a Pulse license and would like to upgrade, please email us for a quote. The price of upgrades will be calculated as the difference between the price of the license you are upgrading from and the price of the license you are upgrading to.

For example, upgrading from a standard to enterprise license would cost USD $4000 - $1500 = $2500.
