The application itself can be downloaded directly from our website here. Most of our applications are quite small and therefore it wouldn't take you much time to download them.

What is the difference between Personal and a Student/Educational license?
Apart from the price difference both software licenses are completely the same. Educational license type is offered to students and educational organizations, such as universities, academies and institutes that intend to use Dekart software in educational purposes. Non-governmental organizations are also eligible to apply for such a discount; however Dekart reserves the right to consider and review each application separately.
The only difference between the two licenses is their price. Usually, the student license costs 2 times less than the business one.
Note: If you wish to obtain a student/educational license of our software, please contact us at sales@dekart.com

Registering software at Dekart
I have bought your software, and received the license key. I entered the license key in the About dialog, however, I get a message that the software is NOT REGISTERED and that I have to register online. Why?
This message means that although you purchased Dekart software you are not registered in the Dekart Client Database.
Dekart has a large network of third-party resellers (distributors), who are selling Dekart software through their own channels. Besides that, some of the payment processing systems used in the Dekart online store, such as Element5, Emetrix, Regnow are also distributing the license keys directly to the Dekart customers.
So in case your software was bought through some of these channels we do not have any information about your purchase, unless you register on our website. To do that you have to go to the license registration section and enter the license key you've got from your third-party distributor. As soon as you do that you will get an email from us with the registration number which will enable you to register your software and get all the benefits associated with it.

Do I need to register to get Tech Support?
No. All people regardless of whether they are already registered customers at Dekart or are only considering registering can get technical support at Dekart.

Registered customers will normally get response to their inquiry within one-two business days, while unregistered customers will receive the answer within 5 or more business days.

Also, you can take advantage of our exclusive service Dekart Intervention. Please read this page for more information.

Major upgrades are indicated by a change in the first version number. So an upgrade from 1.xx to 2.0 is a major upgrade.

Licensing Policy at Dekart
Dekart License Agreement You may find general terms and conditions regarding the Dekart Licensing Policy in this document: END-USER SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
On how many computers or laptops can I install Dekart software?

Dekart licensing policy is based a on per/machine principle. In other words Dekart grants you with the right to use the software and any of its updates on a single computer only.
There are some exceptions to this rule. In case you have purchased a single license for individual use – you are allowed to use and install the Software on several machines. However, that only works if you do not operate the Software on more than one computer at a time. The following examples come to illustrate the rule:
Example 1. You represent a University that wishes to purchase Dekart Logon for one of its labs. There are 10 computers in the lab and about 50 users that work there. In this case you only need to purchase 10 license keys of Dekart Logon. You may either buy 10 separate licenses of Dekart Logon or request a single multi-user license that would install on all 10 computers in a lab.
Example 2. You are an individual and you wish to buy Dekart Private Disk and use it on your Home PC and laptop. You may only buy one license of Dekart Private Disk and install it on both of your personal computers. However, you are not allowed to use Dekart Private Disk on both computers simultaneously. If you need that – you will have to buy two license keys of Dekart Private Disk.
In case you need to use the purchased software on several computers simultaneously you may request a Multi-User License. Alternatively, you can purchase a separate license key per each computer.
What is a Multi-User License? How much does it cost?
The Multi-User License represents the license which allows simultaneous use of the Dekart software on more than one machine. Such a license is more convenient if you desire to use the Dekart Software on a network. The Multi-User license Key consists of a standard combination of 25 symbols plus 5 more symbols.
The price of a Multi-User license is the same as the price of equal number of separate licenses. In other words the price for 4 separate user licenses and the price for one Multi-User license for 4 people is the same.
