Thank you for your interest in purchasing PECompact. To
make PECompact affordable for as large an audience as
possible, we have created a
plethora of license types and tiers. We believe that
through this system the added
complexity in ordering is offset by the money saved by
our customers. This page will make selection of the
appropriate license type as easy as possible. If you
need any further assistance, we're
here for you.
After you place your order you will receive
an email from Bitsum Technologies that provides your login information to
our User Services area. Your order is usually
processed within 5 minutes. In the
User Services area, you can download any version
of any product you are licensed.

Compressed applications may be distributed
freely as long as they are done so without any
form of compensation. This license does not
require a purchase. However, we encourage users
to support PECompact by purchasing the lowest
cost Shareware license.

Compressed applications may be distributed
freely as long as a trial version exists for
public download under the shareware system and
no boxed copies of the software are produced or
sold.

License
Number
of compressed applications that can be
distributed
*1
*1: a single
application can consists of many compressed
modules as long as they are all packaged in the
same installation package. *2: License to use all versions released no later than one
year after the purchase date. Each additional
year of updates can be purchased later for 50%
of the license cost at that time.
What is
considered an 'application' or 'product' by the
PECompact license distribution rights?
To be as liberal as possible with our licenses, a
single application can consists of many compressed
dependencies. We define an application as a set of files
packaged together in the same installer.
Which license is for me?
Person 1: I don't want to distribute anything,
I just want to compress some files on my computer with
PECompact. You should pick the FREEWARE license.
Person 2: I am an individual developer who
releases all my software as freeware. You should pick the FREEWARE license.
Sole proprietor: I am an individual developer
who wants to compress my shareware product(s) with
PECompact. You should pick the SHAREWARE license and then choose
the number of products you wish to distribute.
Company: I am a member of a company that
wishes to compress its retail software with PECompact.
You should pick the COMMERCIAL license and then choose
the number of products you wish to distribute.
What is your update policy?
Updates are free for the first year after the
initial license purchase. Subsequently, each additional
year of updates can be purchased for 50% of the retail
price of your license type. If this is not desirable,
unlimited (lifetime) updates can be purchased by paying
for your second year of updates at the time of your
initial purchase. For example, instead of paying $100
for a license, you would pay $150 for the license.
Versions released during the term of your update
subscription will always be licensed to you and will
always be retrievable from our user services area.
Can I order other ways?
If you wish to make direct payments to Bitsum Technologies, this can be
done, but may make order processing less than instantaneous. You can mail us payment at:
