Support

Support is by email and includes responses to queries about: how the SDK works, how to integrate the SDK effectively and how the SDK is intended to be applied within the context of the licensed product.

Standard support does not cover modifications to the source code.

Additional support can be provided, on a time-worked basis, to include application specific consulting and customisation of the SDK and tools. Please ask for more details.

Source package contents

The standard package contains code for the PathEngine 'interface layer', which can be built against supplied binaries to create a customised version of the PathEngine dll. The interface layer includes functionality relating to multithreading, context management, path post processing, XML and tokenised XML processing and generation. This package also enables customisation of PathEngine's internal memory management.

The full source package includes all source code required to build the PathEngine dll and testbed.

VAT

The prices quoted are exclusive of VAT, but in practice SDK licensing is VAT neutral.
(VAT is not payable for licensing to businesses outside of the European Union, for businesses inside the European Union but outside France we just need an EU VAT number and can then invoice without VAT, and business inside France will generally be able to recuperate any VAT paid.)
