Overview of Licensing Policies

If you've been investigating the purchase of a serious content management system you've probably found out by now that CMS pricing and licensing is often complicated (to say the least).

We've tried to keep our licensing policies as simple yet relevant as possible. However since the cm3 product range meets a fairly diverse range of needs, there is also a range of combinations when it comes to choosing the right licences. Here's an overview of our approach to licensing:

The following components of cm3 are each licensed or purchased separately:

  • The core cm3 product
  • Module licensing
  • Software maintenance

In general cm3 products and modules will be licensed in one of the four following ways:

  • Per domain name
  • Per server
  • Per organisation
  • A custom module licence that suits the particular usage of the system in question

Note that not all modules are compatible with all versions of cm3, either for technical reasons or licensing reasons. For instance cm3 Active does not support most of the additional modules on the technical front. cm3 Professional does not support the full functionality of the Internet Module Pack, and it cannot be licensed under a server or organisation licence. You should be able to find the info you need about each specific product in the products area and/or the licensing FAQ's.

How to identify your licence requirements

Here's a suggestion for how to identify the licences you need:

  1. Make a list of the websites or applications in which you need a CMS
  2. Identify where each website will reside (e.g. on your internal server, on an external host)
  3. Make a list of the cm3 products and modules that interest you
  4. Create a matrix your websites or applications and which features need to go where
  5. At this point we hope you can find enough information in the licensing FAQ's on our website to work out which licences you need. Otherwise contact your cm3 distributor or contact us for help.
