Licensing Options
Seats = Computers
In the MadMapper licensing system, computers are referred to as seats. One seat = one computer, whether Mac or PC.
The number of seats included in a license determines how many devices can run MadMapper simultaneously. For example, a 2-seat license allows you to use MadMapper on two computers at the same time.
Temporary vs Perpetual
Temporary Licenses
Temporary licenses let you select both the number of seats and the duration of the license activation.
You can start with a minimum of 1 seat for 1 month.
Perpetual Licenses
Perpetual licenses are lifetime licenses that do not expire. They are designed for long-term use and start with a minimum of 2 seats, up to 20.
EDUCATION Licenses
EDUCATION licenses are available in both temporary and perpetual versions and are identical in every way to their standard license equivalents.
These licenses are offered at a discount to support students, teachers, and schools in learning MadMapper.
License Generation
Purchases
Upon receipt of payment, the license will be generated and the serial number will be added to the MadMapper account that made the purchase.
At this point, you will be able to download and authorize MadMapper or its extensions.
License Import and Redeem Keys
Licenses are generated automatically from a redeem key. The same applies to imported licenses prior to version 5.
Features
The software features are identical across all license types - temporary, perpetual, and EDUCATION.
Regardless of the license you choose, you will have access to the same full set of tools and capabilities in MadMapper.
Updates and Upgrades
All updates released within the same major version of MadMapper are free. These include performance improvements, bug fixes, and feature additions.
When switching to a new version, an upgrade fee applies, e.g. upgrading a license from v5 to v6.
Extension Add-ons
MadLaser and MadProjectorControl are extensions of MadMapper. In order to use them, you will need an additional license.
Extension licenses work in the same way as MadMapper licenses, see above regarding seats, temporary, perpetual, etc.
They require MadMapper to be installed and the extensions to be authorized.
You can authorize or deauthorize (log in or log out) extensions at any time using the Authorization Manager.
MadAI Credits
MadAI credits are used to generate content through prompts.
The credits purchased to make requests to MadAI Artificial Intelligence are linked to your MadMapper User Account.
Demo Version
The Demo version of MadMapper is free and does not require any license to run.
It allows users to explore the software and its interface freely.
It is not a version aimed at professional work and it comes with several limitations such as:
- Watermark shown on input, output and output preview
- Loading/saving a project is disabled
- Export to SVG/PNG/PDF is disabled
- Spatial Scanner is limited and cropped to 1/4th of its resolution
- DMX lighting devices will blackout once every 30 seconds
- Material installation and publishing from the library is disabled
- MadAI is not supported
Despite these restrictions, the Demo version can be used indefinitely, making it ideal for testing and learning.
