FAQ About Licensing of List & Label

Yes, there’s no catch. Beside the free, fully functional 30 day trial, we offer a satisfaction guarantee in form of a 100 day money-back policy, valid from date of purchase. For reimbursement, all we need is a written non-use and deinstallation confirmation.

You’re always up-to-date with the affordable standard edition, which includes access to the latest major releases, feature updates and service packs. Support via the forum is free of charge. Telephone support and help via the support portal are billed according to actual time required.

The standard edition is available in English or German and not all features are included. A comparison of the different editions can be viewed here: List & Label Editions Overview.

With the golden mean, you make only a few technical compromises. In addition, with the subscription included, you also opt for an edition that includes maintenance and a 12-month support flat rate. You’ll always be up to date, not only with service packs, but also feature updates and new major releases.

This does not automatically include the use in the area of server/webserver applications and localization in other languages. Designer and Manuals in English and German are included (version 25 and higher), but if you need additional languages, the Enterprise Edition might be the better option. With an active subscription, you can switch to the Enterprise Edition at any time. You can find a comparison here: Edition overview List & Label

The List & Label Designer is available in various languages. If support is required for further languages in addition to English and German, you’ll need the Enterprise Edition.

In the Professional and Enterprise Editions, the List & Label Designer and documentation are always available automatically in both German and English (as of version 25). In the case of the Standard Edition, one of these two languages must be selected.

The List & Label Designer is available in additional languages such as French, Italian and Spanish in the Enterprise Edition. An overview of all languages currently available for the Enterprise Edition can be found here.

You’ll need the Enterprise Edition if you want to integrate List & Label into an ASP.NET MVC-based web application. Amongst other things, this includes the browser-based Web Report Designer, the desktop-based Web Designer, the Web Report Viewer and the Report Server.

You can easily publish your web application – via Docker containers as well –to platforms such as Azure App Service, Amazon Web Services or even on your intranet.

Assistance in deciding whether you need List & Label or the Report Server is offered in our article entitled List & Label or Report Server: when do I need which reporting tool?

All-round carefree, especially in the web area. This is what the Enterprise Edition stands for. This includes an unlimited server/webserver license, i. e. an unlimited number of servers and end users. Also included: all available designer languages, special long term support, .NET source code as reference. And as a big plus: the combit Report Server.

The combit Report Server can also be used without a List & Label enterprise application. In this case, each customer simply needs at least one individual List & Label Enterprise Edition.

Thanks to the flexible connection to all important data sources, you can quickly bring existing reports “into the cloud” with the combit Report Server.

As a web application, combit Report Server works in any modern browser on all devices. In this way, you receive a cross-platform reporting solution and are therefore much faster on the market.

Your customer would like to assess other data sources? A very simple Ad-hoc Designer? Time-controlled reports that are also sent immediately? If you pass on the Report Server with your application, you do not need to implement these functions yourself.

Even if your own programming effort is considerably reduced: this does not mean that the Report Server is an island. You can access it via API and use existing List & Label projects with the same database as the basis for your new Report Server templates.

The Report Server is one of the “redistributable components”. However, this also means that you can only redistribute it to customers who use your application with List & Label integration. Further distribution, e. g. by your customers, is not permitted.

The subscription is a contract which covers both maintenance and support. You can relax and rest assured that you always have access to the latest service packs, bug fixes and new major releases. Support services are included in all editions, although they differ with regard to content. The support services offered in the various editions can be compared here. The major releases included in the subscription can also be used concurrently.

If you decide to cancel your subscription, maintenance of your license is fully discontinued in the future. After your subscription has expired, we provide support billed on the basis of actual time required. Of course, you’re still entitled to use your licenses actively and distribute your application to your customers with List & Label.

Reactivation or updating to a new major release after a subscription has expired is only possible by purchasing a new subscription at full price. In contrast, a further year costs only half the price of the initial year and, in addition to support services, always includes all current major releases and feature updates.

• Under legal notice on the combit website.
• In the product itself. During installation, you’re requested to read the license agreement and explicitly agree to its terms.

With List & Label you choose a developer component. According to the documentation, you may integrate the defined, redistributable components into your own software applications and pass them on to third parties. Further distribution by your customers is not permitted. You may distribute or sell the List & Label runtime modules only together and as part of the software program. Always assuming you have a sufficient number of List & Label licenses.

As a license protection measure, an internal message is distributed to other stations in the network from each List & Label license used for development.

Examples of such printing solutions are labels or labeling software, reporting solutions, analysis tools, barcode solutions, applications for invoice or catalogue printing and much more.

No, not based on combit’s standard software license agreement. In non-technical terms, encapsulation is the use of a module, helper or tool created by a small sub-team within your team. If an encapsulation is desired, a simple addendum to the software license agreement is required – just talk to our sales team.
Even though the main purpose of encapsulation is to make developer licenses literally redundant, it still applies that each developer working on the overall product must have their own license.

You as the developer, as well as all other developers who are participating in the overall project and/or product, are in need of licenses. If your client receives the source code of our application, or if this application is held and/or redistributed under your client’s legal name, then your client will require at least one license. In general, everybody who theoretically might have access to the source code, is in need of an own license. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us, we will work out the perfect constellation for your project.

Especially if your project is associated with custom development, outsourcing of development or other development services provided by another organisation, it´s crucial to not only equip the developer team with the right number of licences. It is also important to make sure you have the necessary development and distribution rights. The range of individual case scenarios is very wide – we are happy to discuss your requirements with you, please just get in touch with us.

Please understand that we are unable to provide end customer support in general. Support services for your program including List & Label functionality must be provided by you as the manufacturer.

List & Label license information always consists of a combination of serial number and product key.

If you receive List & Label on a medium, you will find the license certificate with both information in the product packaging. In case of a download you will find the license information in your personal user account in our online shop.

The serial number can also be found directly in the program. Start a sample application on the developer PC and go to the Designer. There press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [F12]. In the following dialog your serial number will be displayed.

As soon as we release a new main version of List & Label, we will make it available to all customers with an active subscription as a download. The prerequisite is that your current license has been registered online.

Afterwards, you don’t have to worry about anything. We provide you with the license information as well as the new setup automatically in your personal user account in our online shop.
