Licensing Model

You may only activate your license for one server instance. If you want to install the license on another server instance or after a new installation, for example, you must deactivate the license first. Then you can reactivate the license on the newly installed server.

Example:
If you want to move the ecoDMS server from a computer to a NAS system, you must first deactivate the license on that computer. Then you can reactivate the freed license on the new server. You can transfer your existing data and settings through the backup and restore function.

The responsible ecoDMS administrator activates and deactivates a license in the settings dialogue box in the ecoDMS client. Refer to the ecoDMS manual for a detailed description of how to activate a license and how to backup and restore your data.

If you cannot deactivate the license according to the instructions in the ecoDMS manual because, for example, you did not deactivate your license as described above, you can request our support staff to reset (deactivate) your license. For this scenario, we offer a free form on our website

When you purchase an ecoDMS license, our archiving solution provides a number of services. Each license you purchase includes a simultaneous client connection and as well as 10 API connects.

• ecoDMS connection manager:
  • Via the ecoDMS connection manager you can make a connection from the client to your ecoDMS archive. For each ecoDMS license you purchase, you can make one simultaneous connection (= one profile) with your archiving system in the connection manager.
• ecoDMS Web Client:
  • The Web Client requires a license for each simultaneous login. If you, for example, want to use the Web Client parallel to the desktop client, you require 2 licenses.
• ecoDMS API:
  • In order to use the API, you require a free, simultaneous connection to the ecoDMS archive. In order to test the API, you automatically receive a monthly quota of 10 API licenses with each ecoDMS license. These will continue to be available even if you purchase more API connects.

The recipe for success behind ecoDMS GmbH is really easy: Take sophisticated OpenSource components, blend them with professional proprietary developments and mix the results with meaningful information, flexible applications and a modern sales model. The result is state-of-the-art software for everyone.

The sale of ecoDMS is comfortable and easy through the internet. With a few clicks customers can purchase the software in the ecoDMS online shop. The software is immediately dispatched free of charge via e-mail. Prior to purchasing, prospective users can always refer to the ecoDMS website for detailed information. This modern sales channel without data carriers, shipping fees and 3rd party licenses enables the sensationally low sales price.

The number of licenses depends on the number of simultaneous connections. You are free to determine the number of licenses you need and enhance them if necessary. The lifecycle of an ecoDMS version always applies here.

Example: If you want to install ecoDMS clients on 10 workstations, of which 6 are always working simultaneously with the software, you need a license for 6 simultaneous connections. You can install the license on your ecoDMS server via the settings dialogue box in the ecoDMS client.

There is none. ecoDMS GmbH, with the software of the same name, is the first DMS supplier to provide innovative and contemporary distribution channels. ecoDMS is thus in line with the times. Today more and more people are shopping conveniently online from home or from work. This makes time-consuming and often expensive sales and consulting appointments a thing of the past. All required information can be accessed directly from the computer or smart phone. Shipment also requires no further effort. "Ordering at the click of a button" is the name of the game. ecoDMS GmbH proves that document archiving can be realised according to the "low-cost principle". A good DMS must not be expensive and can unquestionably be purchased online. ecoDMS is the best proof.

No. You only pay the license fees. These are one-off and depend on the number of simultaneous connections to the archive. If e.g. 4 users are working simultaneously with ecoDMS, 4 one-off licenses are required. There are no additional costs.

Purchasing support is optional at ecoDMS GmbH, not mandatory. You can take advantage of support as you need it.

The low licence fee, of course, cannot include any additional services, such as “support by ecoDMS technicians”. But this has a good reason: “Those who do not require support shouldn’t need to pay for it.”

You can purchase support as you need it in form of a support package with flexible service units at very fair prices.

Purchasing a support package will entitle you to support via phone and email straight from the manufacturer. A modern prepaid principle allows the flexible use and combination of the services you require.
