Unanet offers two licensing options:
On Premise Software License
With the Unanet On Premise License, you obtain a perpetual use license to use the Unanet software for specific Unanet modules. You then host the software on your own servers for use by your organization. To prepare to host the Unanet software for your organization, Unanet provides configuration guidelines for sizing and software and hardware technology alternatives.
Along with the Unanet On Premise License is the Unanet Maintenance License with annual fees. This Unanet Maintenance License provides for technical support hours and three to four annual Unanet software updates. Technical support hours are for telephone or e-mail support. The Unanet software updates plus training documentation and other important Unanet information is available on the Unanet Support Site.
On Demand Subscription License
With the Unanet On Demand License, subscription fees are paid over a period of time. Unanet provides the infrastructure to host the Unanet software for this 'Cloud Computing' offering. Unanet On Demand customers receive security, reliability and high-availability through the Unanet software and Unanet’s hosting partner, Digicon.
