ARTS Installed at Customer Site
For customers wishing to install and operate ARTS themselves, MakaluMedia offers a Token based licensing scheme, providing the flexibility to support any customer needs. One token is required per configured ARTS User, and two tokens are required per configured ARTS Project. (No tokens are required for inactive users, or users assigned only to the Guest role.) To support ARTS evaluation, MakaluMedia provide a fully functional ARTS with the first four tokens for free.
Licensing Case Studies. To help clarify how the token-based licensing scheme functions, we provide three licensing case studies.

ARTS Support Plans
Each Initial ARTS installation receives 30-days of free support. Beyond this, we also offer a Standard ARTS Maintenance Package, plus a choice of phone, virtual and on-site consultancy options.
Standard ARTS Maintenance Package (Annual)
The Standard ARTS Maintenance Package includes email-based support Monday through Friday, 9:30 to 17:30 Central European Time (excluding holidays), Web support (Frequently Asked Questions, Knowledge Base, etc.) (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), and software updates (all ARTS releases) — for a period of one year. Each Initial ARTS installation receives 30-days of free support.
The cost of the Standard ARTS Maintenance Package is 20% of the license fee, if purchased with the license. The maintenance package may be renewed for 25% of the license fee, within the current maintenance package period of validity; otherwise, the renewal fee is 40% of the current license.
Important. Software updates and support are only provided to customers whose Standard ARTS Maintenance Plan is current for all purchased licenses.
