Currently, the MDrivenTurnkey and MDrivenServer licenses are acquired via sales@mdriven.net. The prices range from 0 EUR for development, proof of concept, and prototyping to 500-10000 EUR monthly for production scenarios. We calculate the price based on a combination of model size and the number of frontends (scale up) and slave servers (scale out). 

If you are a small (less than 50 employees) business, you may be eligible for considerable discounts under our startup, ISV, and Service-provider programs. Please contact us at sales@mdriven.net.

We want to build long-lasting relationships with our customers and once we agree on a fee structure, we ensure it is stable over time. Read more here: [[Documentation:Trust and Guarantee|Trust and Guarantee]].

==== We Also Offer a Calendar-Based License Model ====
Some of the reasons for choosing the calendar(i.e. yearly)-based license offer over the negotiated sales@mdriven.net include:
* Tradition/Corporate Policy. The world is shifting to a subscription-based payment for almost all services - but you may not want that. 

* A fixed budget must be known in advance for a fiscal period (sales@mdriven.net also offers this).
* Online reporting of usage is unacceptable. If our software cannot report usage back due to firewall blockage, you must use a calendar-based license. 
* Offline. The tools will not be connected to the internet so no usage reporting can take place.
* The MDrivenFramework alone is calendar-based but may be included in deals with MDrivenTurnkey.

The calendar-based licenses can be bought online via the links below or via our trusted partner [https://www.componentsource.com/product/capableobjects-eco ComponentSource.com]. 

All license periods are yearly unless another period is specified. 

All prices in the shop are list prices applicable to corporate professional production use and come with a "keep it working" guarantee from MDriven.  

If you need additional service-level agreements, please contact us at sales@mdriven.net.
* The MDrivenServer must be combined with a report of Model Size (classes + views) and User base to be valid for operations.
