About the licence.
Can I try Derive before I buy?
Yes. The free edition is the same download, with the same parser and the same drawing; a licence file only unlocks export, Convert, and Design code for drawings over 5 resources. Draw your own stacks with it first, and buy when you need those.
What counts as a seat?
One person who uses Derive. That person can use it on each machine they work on. For a team of five, buy five seats in one order; you get one licence file that states five seats.
What happens when my year of updates ends?
Nothing stops working. You keep using the last version released within your year, with every licensed feature, for as long as you like. Later releases run as the free edition until you renew. Renewal will be optional; its price is not set yet.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No. Your licence is a signed file, derive-licence.json, and Derive checks the signature on your machine. It never contacts us to do so.
How do refunds work?
Within 14 days of purchase, email support@derive-solutions.co with your order number. You get the full price back to your original payment method, and the licence is withdrawn. Refund policy.
I have lost my licence file.
Download it again on the licence page with your order number and the email you bought with. The same page lists the licensed downloads your year covers.
Who handles payment and VAT?
Lemon Squeezy runs the checkout as our reseller (merchant of record). It takes the payment, calculates any VAT or sales tax for your country, and sends the receipt.
