dtSearch Desktop — single user license

Requires Windows.
Add to Cart single user @ $249 (international currency selector available)
Single user license: a single individual may use the software on up to two computers, so long as the software will be used on both computers exclusively by that individual. In a terminal server environment, each terminal server user counts as a separate user. For successive installs on multiple different machines for forensics, e-discovery and similar investigative usage, please see dtSearch Desktop “investigative” license. See dtSearch License Agreement for additional license details.

dtSearch Desktop — annual single individual user “investigative” license

Requires Windows.
Add to Cart annual single individual user “investigative” @ $1,225 covering one year (international currency selector available)
Annual single individual user “investigative” license:  this is an annual license covering use for one year by a single individual for forensics, e-discovery and similar investigative usage. A single individual may install, uninstall and reinstall the software successively on multiple different machines, provided that the software must be fully uninstalled on the previous machine prior to installation on another, so the software is only installed on one machine at any given time. In a terminal server environment, usage for each terminal server counts as a separate installation. This license also includes an additional dtSearch Desktop single-user license for personal usage. All other installations for either indexing or searching require additional licenses. See dtSearch License Agreement for additional license details.

Pricing is non-concurrent: a 100 user license covers up to 100 machines in a single organization with the software running either in a shared network environment or separately for each end-user (e.g. for laptops). In a terminal server environment, each terminal server seat counts as a separate user. dtSearch Network licenses also include use on a single additional machine for indexing and/or for shared network index access. All other installations for either indexing or searching — including temporary forensics and e-discovery installations — require additional licenses. See dtSearch License Agreement for additional license details.
