Licensing the Marietta PDE™ Software

The Personal and Professional versions are licensed on a per-PC basis.

The Enterprise version is licensed on a per-Palm OS^® unit basis.

Licensing API Sets

Our API sets, such as the Marietta Libraries™, facilitate the rapid development of sophisticated applications. They are licensed on a “per-developer” basis, and organizations typically have only one or a few licenses.

Licensing Pre-built “batch” Applications

Our pre-built “batch” applications are licensed on a “per-user” basis, and the number of licenses for an organization matches the number of users of the software. For pre-built applications used in batch mode, there is a simple relationship between the number of mobile computers and the number of licenses.

Licensing Pre-built WiFi Applications

Our  RF-TP™ software is licensed on a “per-server” basis, where the number of licenses for an organization matches the number of computers running the server software. However, the charge for each server license may vary with the maximum concurrent hand held computers supported.

Custom Application Development

Marietta Systems, Inc develops custom applications under fixed price contracts. We deliver the custom application source code, and the customer can subsequently assume responsibility for future modifications and enhancements to the application. We do not provide source code on our own applications, tools, and API sets.

Typically the bidding and development process is as follows:
Œ  We receive a summary requirements definition.
�  We review the requirements and may seek clarifications and additional information before responding.
Ž  We provide a firm price quotation for writing a detailed specification and a provisional quotation for developing the software. If requested, we provide quotations for development of a user manual, and for other implementation tasks.
�  After approval to proceed, we create the detailed specification in our normal format.
�  After delivery, review and approval of the specification, we may adjust our quotation for the software development. This adjusted quotation then becomes firm.
‘  After approval to proceed, we place the development under change control, when all changes to the design are reviewed and, if non-trivial, are quoted and must be authorized before being implemented.
’  The programming is completed, and the software tested in-house by Marietta Systems before delivery.
“  When the first complete delivery is made, the software is placed under S.E.R. control and all actual or suspected software errors must be reported and described by Fax or e-mail to ensure each is properly addressed. Subsequent software deliveries incorporate both approved changes and repairs to resolve reported errors. Errors are repaired at no charge until the software warranty expires.

Software Warranty

Marietta Systems, Inc provides a software warranty for 12 months from the first complete delivery of the software. During this warranty period we promptly repair any properly documented errors in the software, at no charge. Errors must be reported by Fax or e-mail. This warranty applies to custom development, to our API sets and to our pre-built applications. Note that we provide a 12 month warranty from first complete delivery, not a 90 day warranty from acceptance. OUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY IS TO REPAIR ERRORS IN OUR SOFTWARE. WE EXPECT THE CUSTOMER TO THOROUGHLY TEST THE SOFTWARE BEFORE USE.

Extended warranties are available at an annual charge of 20% of the software development and license fees.
