Dyalog Run-Time Licences
For the deployment of applications
In addition to a current Commercial Licence or Basic Licence, a Run-Time Licence is necessary if:
- Dyalog is used to implement multi-user applications (multi-user applications are defined as applications where the same data is shared by or exchanged between two or more users).
- Dyalog is used as a platform for applications that are distributed outside the organisation which holds the Commercial or Basic Licence – whether or not the developer charges a fee for the application and irrespective of whether the application is single or multi‑user.

Cloud Based Run-Time Licences
For sharing applications
When several users use one or more applications running in the cloud, a Run-Time Licence is required.
Examples could be:
- a service where an application, that runs on an internal or external cloud, provides services available to users for a fraction of the working year (e.g. applications running Jarvis or MiServer) or
- use of internal or external cloud resources to accelerate or automate the execution of a workflow on behalf of a controlling process, but without providing a service that other users could connect to or receive data from. Examples include the use of isolate servers running in the cloud for parallel computation, or the execution of continuous integration tasks on the cloud.
For cloud-based deployment of applications, please e-mail Dyalog Ltd to discuss pricing and identify a metric that can be used to determine fair price structure for the required Run-Time Licences.
Royalty-Based Run-Time Licences
For the exploration of new markets
For holders of both Basic and Commercial Licences, Dyalog Ltd offers an alternative Royalty-Based Run-Time licence. The licence charges a royalty fee calculated as 2% of all gross revenue generated by sales, consulting and support of applications and end products developed using Dyalog, where such annual revenue is equal to or exceeds £5,000.
The licence covers all required Run-Time Licences for users of services or software delivered by the Royalty-Based Licence holder. In addition, the royalty covers support and upgrades for the licence holder. The licence requires a current Basic or Commercial Licence and includes access to all Dyalog development environments.
This is the preferred option for start-ups and for vendors who need freedom when pricing their products. It is also ideal for consultancies and software vendors who need to be up-to-date with Dyalog versions and platforms. Dyalog Ltd has developed this model in appreciation of the fact that business development requires sophisticated tools – often before the revenue stream is secured.
In the absence of the purchase of a suitable Run-Time Licence, the Royalty-Based Run-Time licence will be applied as the default licence.
