Licensing Explained
Open this document in seperate window

Kabel .NET comes in three licensing variations:

Development - The Kabel .NET module runs within the scope of all local web applications;
however, they need to be accessed via http://localhost/...
Production - Kabel .NET runs unrestrictedly for all web applications on one Server.
Hosting - The above Production license is not permitted for Hosting (multi-site) environments.
Hosting providers should contact kabelnet.licensing@impulsio.com for Hosting licensing details.

It is important to understand that Kabel .NET licenses are linked to a Server's network adapter; when there is more than one network adapter present, the User is prompted to select the primary adapter for which the license should be valid. Thus, licenses are valid across system updates and re-installations. Also, the license file only contains the SHA1 hash of the network adapter's identifier (you are welcome to hash your MAC Address and verify this), so no machine-specific information is transmitted or stored with the central Kabel .NET licensing service.

Once issued to a specific server (more specifically: to its network adapter), licenses cannot be transferred, re-issued or refunded.

Please note that licensing is independent of registration and can be handled anonymously.

To request and manage licenses, use the Kabel .NET Licensing Utility.
Also, visit the Kabel .NET website for more information on current license pricing and special offers.
