There are three licensing options at Sawtooth Software: Corporate Annual Subscriptions for up to 10 users, Standard Licenses per user/seat, and Academic Licenses.


Annual Subscriptions
A Corporate Annual Subscription License is a cost-effective and straightforward approach to using Sawtooth Software tools and technical support across an organization. With an annual subscription license, up to 10 users may access the most up-to-date versions and automatically receive software upgrades whenever new features are released.

Standard Licenses
Some organizations may prefer purchasing a Standard License for an individual user. For a one-time fee, you may puchase specific software modules at the prices shown in the table below. Upgrades to newer versions usually involve an additional upgrade fee.
  1. A software license entitles you to use the software in one of two ways:
    • Option A: by a single individual on one or more computers
    • Option B: by multiple users on a single computer (but not simultaneously by more than one user)
  2. Licenses may be transferred from one user to another within the company or licensed organization. Users may switch their method of using the software license (options A and B) above without notifying Sawtooth Software.
  3. Users should register their software via an online registration form that appears when you launch the software. (A phone registration option is also available, for those without an internet connection.) If you postpone registration, you will be prompted to register the software each time you start the software. Periodically, audits will be performed and a report will be sent to customers regarding their license registration activity.
  4. Academic Lab users are not required to register their software. Academic ("lab") licenses are described at: http://www.sawtoothsoftware.com/education/academiclicense.shtml.
  5. Only registered users may receive technical support. When you request technical support, Sawtooth Software will verify your serial number.
  6. Software is sold at the list price, less any volume discounts. Software may be returned for a full refund within 60 days of software purchase.
  7. A volume discount is applied to any new or upgrade purchase after a specified level of expenditure within the past 3 years with us or our European representative, SKIM. After an expenditure of $10K, subsequent purchases receive a 10% discount, after an expenditure of $25K the discount is 25%, and after an expenditure of $50K the discount is 50%.
  8. Upgrade fees will be uniform (typically about 40% of the new license fee), regardless of the prior version you own. Older “Category” style licenses may retain "Category" scope only for system size upgrades (not version upgrades).
  9. For existing users who do not wish to upgrade, we will continue to support their old licenses (our track record has been to support older versions in terms of bug fixes for around 3 years and to offer technical support for often 10 years).
