WINDEV SaaS License Agreement Last updated: May 21, 2025 By installing and using WINDEV SaaS, you agree to the terms of the following license:CUSTOMER means the entity or an individual who subscribes to SOFTWARE offered by COMPANY for professional use only. The LICENSE MANAGER is the individual who assigns licenses to the different DEVELOPERS. A DEVELOPER is a user associated with a SOFTWARE license, identified by an email address. COMPANY shall mean PC SOFT, whose head office is located at 3 rue de Puech Villa, BP 444 08, 34197 Montpellier, France. SOFTWARE shall mean WINDEV SaaS. APPLICATION shall mean a program or a set of programs developed with SOFTWARE. Subscription means the purchase of a limited right to use SOFTWARE under the terms and conditions detailed in the order form accepted by COMPANY, in this SaaS License Agreement, and in the General terms and conditions. The Subscription is associated with a DEVELOPER, for the current version and for any updates, unless such update includes its own license agreement, which would apply then. | | 1. License |
The Subscription purchased by CUSTOMER gives the DEVELOPER the non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable, limited in time right to use SOFTWARE. This license agreement is valid for the duration of the Subscription as set out in the order form accepted by the COMPANY, and subject to the timely payment of the Subscription price by the CUSTOMER. If the Subscription is not renewed, the licenses will expire at the end of the Subscription period (see General terms and conditions).
1. Internet connection
To use SOFTWARE, an Internet connection is required at first launch and at regular intervals. This connection allows the DEVELOPER to authenticate on the Subscription servers. SOFTWARE can then be used in offline mode for a given amount of days. This time period can vary. A regular Internet connection is required to extend offline access. You can see the expiration date in the general options of SOFTWARE. If the expiration date is reached and the device has not been connected to the Internet, SOFTWARE can no longer be used. The DEVELOPER must check this date before traveling or programming an extended period of offline use. If necessary, the DEVELOPER click on the "Traveling / Limited Internet access" or use an equivalent option link to extend the period of offline use. 2. Use conditions
SOFTWARE can be installed on multiple computers. However, SOFTWARE must be used on a single computer by a single DEVELOPER at any given time. SOFTWARE is considered used as soon as it is loaded in the "computer memory" (also called RAM). The DEVELOPER, identified by their email address, can use their license to run SOFTWARE installed on different computers. In this case, the DEVELOPER needs an Internet connection to authenticate. Users can only change to a different computer a given amount of times per day and per month. If this limit is exceeded, the DEVELOPER will not be able to use SOFTWARE on another computer for a given amount of time. If the DEVELOPER tries to use the same identifier to run SOFTWARE on multiple computers simultaneously, a message will appear to notify them that by continuing on their current session, all other sessions will be automatically closed. Any unsaved data will be lost. The DEVELOPER will be solely responsible for these losses.
If the Subscription management servers encounter a problem, a specific procedure enables the DEVELOPER to access a backup server for a given time period.
| | 2. Subscription Pricing |
The applicable SOFTWARE Subscription pricing can be found at www.windev.com. The right to use SOFTWARE is subject to the payment of the Subscription price. COMPANY may immediately interrupt access to SOFTWARE if CUSTOMER fails to pay the Subscription price. This price can be changed without notice.COMPANY may modify the price, interrupt or reduce the duration of any of the Subscription plans. COMPANY shall inform CUSTOMER of the termination or any significant changes made to the Subscription plans. CUSTOMER may terminate the Subscription contract if they do not agree to these changes. For more details, see General terms and conditions.

| | 4. SOFTWARE ownership |
This SOFTWARE is the property of the COMPANY. CUSTOMER has only acquired the right to use SOFTWARE under the terms and conditions detailed in the General terms and conditions, and in this SaaS License Agreement.
| | 5. Use |
CUSTOMER agrees to use SOFTWARE for its intended purpose. Modifying, trying to modify, disassembling, or trying to disassemble this SOFTWARE is forbidden. CUSTOMER shall not remove (or try to remove) the copyright mentions that may be displayed and/or included in SOFTWARE.SOFTWARE shall not be rented, leased or shared. SOFTWARE shall not be used to create and distribute all or part of a development tool, software for application creation and program building, or any other program similar to SOFTWARE itself. Contact us if you have any questions. The functions for generating JAVA code can only be used to create a stand-alone APPLICATION. The code generated by SOFTWARE shall not be re-used in other software or tools for software creation. The code generated by this feature shall not be included in a software (freeware or shareware) that could be a competitor of WINDEV or WEBDEV, in part or in full. The photographs, illustrations and images contained in the examples, templates, skins and skin templates can only be used in their initial context. Any use, reproduction, representation, adaptation or copy, in full or in part, in any format, by any existing or forthcoming process, is forbidden. The images and animations available from the image catalog must be exclusively used in the APPLICATIONS developed with SOFTWARE. These images shall not be sold or distributed. Their use in products or sites other than the APPLICATION is forbidden. The images cannot be separated from the APPLICATION that uses them. Copying or reproducing the documentation, in part or in full, is strictly forbidden.
| | 6. Royalties |
CUSTOMER in possession of a duly registered SOFTWARE license has the rights to distribute the execution modules required to run the stand-alone programs, for the sole purpose of running the programs developed with SOFTWARE.The created APPLICATION shall not contain more than 10% (ten per cent) of dynamically compiled code and/or UMC code. If an APPLICATION contains more than 10% of dynamically compiled code and/or more than 10% of UMC code, a WINDEV license is required for each computer where the APPLICATION is installed. The APPLICATION shall not be a plain duplication or recompilation of the modules and examples supplied with SOFTWARE. Contact the COMPANY if you have any questions. The HFSQL engine can be distributed with any APPLICATION developed with WINDEV, provided that more than 50% (fifty per cent) of it is used by one or more WINDEV and/or WEBDEV applications. 50% represents the number of features actually used in the application. For any other use in another language or by another method, a SOFTWARE LICENSE is required for each server that uses HFSQL, in the same version as or in a later version than HFSQL (for example, WINDEV 2025 to use HFSQL Client/Server). If HFSQL is used on a single computer (laptop, PC, etc.), this computer is considered as a server. Therefore, if HFSQL is mainly used by a software not developed by WINDEV (or WEBDEV), it CANNOT be distributed. "REPORTS AND QUERIES" can be installed with each one of your APPLICATIONS, provided that each application contains more than 50% of the features used on the database(s) used. If an APPLICATION represents less than 50% of the features used on the database(s) used, a license of "REPORTS AND QUERIES" must be purchased for each user computer.
It is FORBIDDEN to use "REPORTS AND QUERIES" for a secondary application of one or more applications not developed with SOFTWARE, with the only purpose to get a free version of a software for creating reports and queries. Therefore, "REPORTS AND QUERIES" can be freely used with an APPLICATION developed with SOFTWARE and respecting the above-mentioned 50% rule. Contact the COMPANY if you have any questions.
