Notes

  • All packages are fixed fee, with no royalty component, and with unlimited licence term (i.e. the rights to distribute with your product do not expire).
  • All packages include access to all SDK upgrades (both major and minor) released during the support term.
  • Package types cannot be mixed. (So it's not possible to purchase a full source licence for a first product and then a binary licence for a second.)
  • Prices are for the games sector and include labelling requirements.
  • Licensing is for both development and redistribution, and a 6 month minimum development period between licensing and product release may be required.
  • Initial support term duration counts from immediately after evaluation.
  • Prices quoted are valid for licensing until the end of first quarter 2022.
  • Reductions are possible when licensing for multiple products simultaneously, or for titles with territory or pricing restrictions (please ask, for details).

Binary only licensing

The binary package includes all SDK functionalty, and all benchmarks (our benchmarks are run against this package), but this package does include some default instrumentation that can be turned off with the source packages for better performance.

Binary packages are available for the Windows-x86 and Windows-x64 platform targets.

Package Platform targets Cost, single product
Binaries only 1 platform, Windows-x86 or Windows-x64 3800 euros
Binaries only 2 platforms, Windows-x86 and Windows-x64 6400 euros

Full source licensing

The full source packages include all source code required to build the PathEngine DLL, TestBed, and content tools.

This makes it possible to customise all aspects of the SDK, make special builds, turn on and off API checking and memory instrumentation, statically link with the SDK without linkage constraints, and so on.

Platform targets

Platform targets are defined in terms of target OS type and processor architecture, with build configuration and optimised platform specific components currently available for the following platforms:

  • Windows, x86
  • Windows, x64

When licensing after an evaluation please note that the initial support term starts the day after the expiry of the evaluation period, regardless of the actual date of licence purchase.
