7. License Options:
For assistance in packaging applications, runtime installers for
NetCOBOL (including PowerCOBOL and PowerFORM) are available for
download for customers with a current maintenance agreement.
Beginning with NetCOBOL Version 9.0, msm merge modules are also
provided that can be used to incorporate NetCOBOL runtime functionality
into installers that are built using tools such as
WiX (see wix.sourceforge.net) or other commercially available installer
products. For those customers who have used the installation "wrapper"
technology in previous versions of NetCOBOL to build installers, this
wrapper will continue to be made available, but its use will decrease,
since installers built with this technology work only on Windows 2000
and Windows XP, but not on Windows Vista. For usage and licensing
information, please refer to information found on the Web at
www.netcobol.com/license.
To download runtime installers, msm merge modules, and installation
wrappers, please visit our web site at www.netcobol.com/download.
