Lifetime License

Class: PUBLIC_REWRITE_SUMMARY
Derived from: LICENSING.md · ANNUAL_SUPPORT.md · SUPPORT_AND_EXPIRY.md

What a Lifetime License is

A Soviez ERP Lifetime License is a one-time purchase that authorizes a production database instance on infrastructure you control. It is not a subscription for Technical Support.

Lifetime License ≠ Technical Support

Topic	Lifetime License	Technical Support
Purchase	One-time	Optional Annual / multi-year prepaid (new sales)
Runtime	Remains valid per license terms	Time-bounded coverage
Product updates	Separate entitlement via Annual Support	Included with Annual Technical Support
Expiry effect	Does not “expire” like support	Support expiry does not stop ERP runtime

New Technical Support sales

New purchases are Annual / multi-year only. Legacy monthly Technical Support remains available only for existing customers who already hold it — it is not offered for new sales.

Offline activation

Activation can be performed in connected or offline modes according to the Activation and Offline Mode documentation. Device / production-slot binding uses the current canonical activation model (not a “static public IP only” flow).
