Licence terms
Licence terms summary
This page summarises the end-user licence agreement in plain words. The agreement shown by the installer is the binding text.
Free Imager / Viewer
- Free for any use, including commercial and government casework.
- You may install it on as many computers as you like.
- No warranty beyond what the law requires.
Paid editions (Recovery, Forensic, Complete)
- Perpetual right of use. You may use the versions released while your maintenance is active, with no time limit.
- Maintenance. The first year is included. Renewal is yearly at about 27% of the licence price, and a late renewal runs from the previous end date. Maintenance includes new versions and e-mail support.
- Term licences run for one year at about 40% of the perpetual price, with updates and support. They stop working when the term ends, and your cases then open in the free viewer.
- Seats. One licence is one activated computer at a time. You may move it by deactivating it on the old computer.
- Who may use it. The licensee named in the licence, its employees and contractors working on its cases.
- Licensee stamp. Reports, exports and acquisition logs carry the licensee's name and licence id.
- Not allowed: sharing a licence key outside the licensee, removing the licensee stamp, or reselling licences except through an authorised reseller.
- Your cases are yours. Ending a licence never locks a case. The free viewer always opens, browses and exports it.
Academic teaching licence
Free teaching licence for accredited courses (classroom use, not casework). Renewable yearly. Teaching use only: not for paid casework or research contracts.
Third-party components
InVitro includes open-source and third-party components under their own licences. The installer includes their notices, and Help, then About, lists them.
