Distributing your desktop applications is easy with the Alpha Five Unlimited Distribution License!

With the Alpha Five v9 Unlimited Distribution License, once you have built your application in Alpha Five v9 Platinum you can:

  • Distribute your applications freely with no restrictions
  • Make an unlimited number of copies of your application, including trial or demo copies
  • Develop an unlimited number of applications (each with an unlimited number of copies)
  • Deploy an application on a network with an unlimited number of concurrent users.

The Alpha Five Version 9 Unlimited Distribution license is a low cost, unrestricted and simple way to distribute an unlimited number of custom Alpha Five applications that you create.

With it you can distribute as many applications as you like - for as many people as you like. The people to whom you distribute your application do not need to have Alpha Five installed. (It's also ideal for creating demo or trial versions of your commercial software.)

The Unlimited Distribution License works for both SQL and non-SQL desktop applications. It does require that you first develop your application using a copy of Alpha Five V9 Platinum Edition. (If you already have Alpha Five V9 Standard, you can upgrade to V9 Platinum without having to modify anything.)
