OBJECTIVITY’S GSA PRICE LIST
PRODUCT LICENSE PRICING OVERVIEW
All Objectivity products have a price associated with licensing for use within a development environment that is a function of the number of developer seats, QA, test machines, etc. In addition, all products have a price associated for use within a runtime environment.
Objectivity/DB runtime fees are based on the number of Users and the number of cores on a single machine. ThingSpan runtime fees are based on the number of Nodes
Objectivity products include the Objectivity database and one language binding (e.g. C++, Java, C#, Python) for one operating system (e.g. Windows, Linux, Mac OS, etc.).
All pricing is per single licensed application/program. Licneses may not be transferred between language bindings, operating systems, or between different contractor applications. Licenses may not be transferred between different organizations.
Definition of User
A "User" is anything that makes use of, creates, deletes, manipulates, or gains value from objects stored in the Objectivity/DB or ThingSpan database, either directly or indirectly. A direct User interacts directly with an Objectivity/DB or ThingSpan client. An indirect User interacts through a multi-tier architecture with an Objectivity/DB or ThingSpan client, e.g. via CORBA, an application server, or a web server. A User may be named, and thus identified by the name of a person, or the name of a terminal or GUI operator, or a system operator. A User may also be a physical device that is connected to the system, e.g. a sensor, a detector, a unit of work, or network element.
Definition of a Node
Contractor defines one (1) Node to equal up to 12 cores or up to 256GB of memory.
Licensing in a Virtual Environment
When calculating the number of cores to license in a virtual environment, the total number of cores on the physical hardware Contractor products will be installed on must be licensed, not just the virtual cores used. For example, if a customer says they are only running Contractor products on 16 virtual cores of a 32 core machine, they need to license all 32 cores.
Maintenance and Support Services
Technical assistance shall be performed primarily by telephone and electronic mail from
Contractor's offices in San Jose, California or, if elected by Contractor in its sole discretion, at the ordering activity's site. Contractor shall provide technical assistance to the Customer Support
Contacts for error correction and to advise the ordering activity on the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Products. If the ordering activity is located outside the United States, the services shall be provided by Contractor, a Contractor distributor, or other entity designated by
Contractor.
