BUDS2 Licenses Comparison Table

Very important rules!

By purchasing the BUDS2 license you agree to the following terms:

1. Your email address registered with PayPal will be used to register your license for BUDS2.

2. One email can only be used to register one license for only one MPI.

3. One license can only be registered on 3 computers, so carefully read the minimum computer requirements (TAB Computer requirements) before registering a license to avoid useless registrations. 

BUDS2 can be run on less weak computers, but each case is unique. If you are not sure, then it is better to request a test license and check if your computer is suitable for working with BUDS2.

Cases such as "death" of the computer, reinstalling Windows, formatting the hard disk and other force majeure situations do not affect the limitation on the number of BUDS2 license registrations.

If you need to have more than tree computers with BUDS2, then you will need to buy a new license for more three computers.

For licenses with a duration of 5 and 10 years, there may be exceptions to the rules, but each case will be considered separately, and only if at least 3 years have passed since the first registration.

4. If you have several MPI interfaces and already have one license registered for your PayPal email, then you need to specify the alternative real email in the "Alternative email" field.

The hardware and software of your computer are critical to ensure an optimal BUDS2 performance.
