If you have any questions that are not covered in this list, we would be happy to answer them. Don't hesitate to get in touch with the Nevron Sales Team.
A:
Currently, Nevron Open Vision includes the following components:
- NOV UI Widgets
- NOV Grid
- NOV Rich Text Editor
- NOV Diagram
- NOV Chart
- NOV Gauge
- NOV Schedule
- NOV Barcode
The components can be licensed as part of the Open Vision suite Professional and Enterprise editions.
The licensing is based on a per developer (individual developer) using the Software for development purposes.
Each developer who desires to use the Software must hold a valid Developer License.
NOV Developer License is granted on a perpetual (permanent) and subscription (annual maintenance) basis.
We are providing two types of licenses with the Open Vision for .NET:
- Developer License – required for developing with the NOV components.
- Desktop License – required for redistribution of compiled applications.
The controls are royalty-free for redistribution with compiled desktop applications.
The Developer license is bound to a specific machine ID. Developer Licenses will unlock the product, remove the evaluation watermark, and allow debugging.
The Desktop license will not work when you run the app in debug mode on another development machine.
To obtain the Developer License(s) for your product, you need to go to My Account
page and enter your MachineId(s) in field(s) defined for Single Developer license(s) and press the "Generate" button.
Your generated license key will be diplayed instead of the machine ID field.
You can locate the Machine Id by running the Nevron License Key Manager from your development machine:
Start menu >> All Programs >> Nevron Open Vision program group >> License Key Manager
Your development Machine Id should also be displayed in the evaluation watermark and nag screen when running the examples shipped with Nevron Open Vision for .NET.
Take a look at the Open Vision for .NET Help Documentation >> Activation topic | |
The Desktop License is required for redistribution of your compiled application which uses Nevron Open Vision controls.
You don't need to add the Desktop license in the Nevron License Key Manager - it has to be configured programmatically through code.
Note: The Desktop license key will not work when you run your application(s) in debug mode on another development machine which doesn't have a valid Developer license.

Nevron Vision for .NET suite includes the following products:
- Nevron Chart for .NET
- Nevron Diagram for .NET
- Nevron User Interface for .NET
The products can be licensed separately or as part of the Vision suite.
The licensing is based on a per developer (individual developer) using the Software for development purposes and per production web server deployment
(for web-based applications). Each developer who desires to use the Software must hold a valid Developer License.
We are providing 3 type of licenses with the Vision for .NET products:
- Developer License – required for developing with the components.
- Server License – required for production web server deployment.
- Desktop License – required for redistribution of compiled desktop applications.
Each Developer License comes with one production Server License and one Desktop License by default.
The controls are royalty-free for redistribution with compiled desktop (WinForm and WPF) applications.
For web-based applications - if you need to deploy your web application to multiple production web servers, you must obtain additional Server Licenses.
There are no restrictions on the number of applications per server, no restriction on the number of websites, and no restrictions on the number of server CPUs.
We do not charge for test servers.
The Developer and Server licenses are bound to specific machine IDs. Developer Licenses will unlock the product, remove the evaluation watermark, and allow debugging.
The Desktop license will not work when you run the app in debug mode on another development machine.
To obtain the Developer License(s) for your product, you need to go to My Account
page and enter your MachineId(s) in field(s) defined for Single Developer license(s) and press the "Generate" button.
Your generated license key will be diplayed instead of the machine ID field.
You can locate the Machine Id by running the Nevron License Key Manager from your development machine:
Start menu >> All Programs >> Nevron .NET Vision program group >> License Key Manager
Your development Machine Id should also be displayed in the evaluation watermark when running the examples shipped with Nevron Vision for .NET.
Take a look at the Vision for .NET Help Documentation >> Activation topic | |
To obtain the Server License(s) for your product, you need to provide Nevron Customer Service with the appropriate Machine Id(s) for the Production Server machine(s) which will be displaying Nevron Vision for .NET web controls.
You don't need to install Nevron on the web servers – you can redistribute the required Nevron DLLs with your application.
The machine ID for the web servers can be obtained in the following two ways:
1. Copy/paste the Nevron License Key Manager application from your development machine on the server and run it. It will provide you with the server machine ID.
2. When you run the application on the server, the machine ID will be displayed in the evaluation watermark.
Note: For the Desktop and Server licenses, it is recommended that you configure the licenses programmatically (not through the License Key Manager). That way, you will suppress any special permission for the ASP.NET account.

The Desktop License is required for redistribution of your compiled desktop application which uses Nevron Vision for .NET controls. You don't need to add the Desktop license in the Nevron License Key Manager - it has to be configured programmatically through code.
Note: The Desktop license key will not work when you run your application(s) in debug mode on another development machine which doesn't have a valid Developer license.

Nevron Vision for SharePoint suite includes the following products:
- Nevron Chart for SharePoint
- Nevron Gauge for SharePoint
- Nevron Map for SharePoint
- Nevron Barcode for SharePoint
The products can be licensed separately or as part of the Vision suite.
The licensing is based on a per production Web Front End (WFE) server. You need to obtain a valid Server License for each production WFE server in your SharePoint farm.
There is no restriction on the number of web applications, the number of site collections, the number of developers/designers working with the web part designer, and no restriction on the number of viewers. We do not charge for test and development servers.
The Server licenses are bound to a specific machine ID. Production Server Licenses will unlock the product and remove the evaluation watermark.
To obtain the Server License(s) for your product, you need to provide Nevron Customer Service with the appropriate Machine Id(s) for the SharePoint Production Web Front End (WFE) Server machine(s) which is running and displaying the Nevron Vision for SharePoint web parts.
You can locate the Machine Id through the Nevron Chart/Gauge Web Part Designer >> Licensing tab (the Licensing tab will be available once you connect the web part to some data source):
In order to properly add the license key (to store in the farm), on the SharePoint configuration database in SQL Server (usually SharePoint_Config), you may need to provide EXECUTE permissions for the account running the Application Pool for the web application. If needed you can remove the EXECUTE permission afterwards.
If you then receive an error message regarding the cache.ini file when saving the license key:
For the Config folder at: " C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config", provide Full control for the WSS_WPG group on all WFE servers. Check that the permissions are also applied to the cache.ini file under the config folder. Then save the license. Once the license is saved, you can roll-back the permissions for the Config folder.
Once the key is added to the farm, you will be able to revert these configuration settings.

Nevron controls are royalty-free for redistribution in compiled desktop applications. Each developer license includes a perpetual desktop redistribution license and a single production server license.
You must obtain additional server licenses to cover those servers if you use the product on more than one production server. There is no restriction on the number of domains where you use the controls. |

Simply put, subscription refers to our software update and support services. Purchasing any of our products, you receive a perpetual license to use the product along with a three or 12-month subscription. A subscription entitles you to receive product updates and technical support.
When your subscription expires, and you choose not to renew it, you can still use the product, but you do not get free updates, maintenance, and technical support. | |
A:
The expiry date is the last date when your subscription is valid. But do not worry - your product will not stop working because your subscription expires. When you buy our product, you get a perpetual license to use it.
- What does the subscription expiration mean?
When you first purchase your Nevron product with a subscription*, you are entitled to download new releases and updates for one year. You could download new releases and updates when your subscription expires, but they will not work with your license key.
- What do I do now?
You have two options: renew your current subscription (at a percentage of the current purchase cost) or continue to use the version of the product you purchased.
- Why should I renew?
We aim to give Nevron’s customers a richer experience and more abilities every year. This means constantly improving our products and service. We understand how important it is to have cutting-edge tools available. Renewing your subscription is the best way to ensure you’re up to date with the latest updates and improvements in our software.
- How much does a renewal cost and how long is it good for?
That depends on when you renew. Renewing your subscription before the expiry date will cost only 33% of the product's list price*. Reactivating an expired subscription up to six months after the expiration date costs 55 of the list prices of the product. If you do it after the six-month mark, this will cost 70% of the product's list price. The period of a subscription is one year. Reactivating an expired subscription for over two years costs 80 percent of the product's list price.
