Chamber Data Systems licenses CC-Assist to an organization for renewable one-year terms. The initial license fee for the first year of use is based on the number of users having simultaneous access to CC-Assist. The renewal license fee for each subsequent one-year term is 10% of the initial license fee for simultaneous use at time of renewal. Contact us for information about the CC-Assist licensing fee schedule.

Following is an explanation of what the license provides.

Initial License

• Training (See CC-Assist 8.0 Training.)
  
• Conversion of database to CC-Assist 8.0 for users upgrading from a prior-generation CC-Assist.
• First year of use and support of trained users
• Updates that include enhancements and new features as they become available

Renewal License

• One subsequent year of use
• One subsequent year of software maintenance
• Updates that include enhancements and new features as they become available

Number of Users

When CC-Assist is installed on a local area network (LAN), the license fee is based on the number of users that can run it simultaneously. Licensing by the number of simultaneous users allows you to run CC-Assist on as many workstations as you want, but only pay for the level of usage that you need. To better understand this and determine the level of licensing that you need, consider the following example.

Suppose that you have five workstations on your LAN. CC-Assist can be installed to run on all five workstations. But your organization's use of CC-Assist may vary from workstation to workstation. Some users may work in it throughout the day, while others may have only an occasional need to use it. Based on the pattern of usage, you may decide that you need only a 3-user license. In that case, any three users can be running CC-Assist at the same time. The license prevents an attempt to run it on a fourth workstation until a user exits CC-Assist at one of the other workstations.
