Why $49
Scribe does its work on a computer you already own, so there’s no service to keep paying for. $49, once, is what keeps the software maintained.
The license
One owner, two servers at a time.
What it covers
- Two servers at a timemacOS or Windows, in any mix: one at the office and one at home, say. When you replace a computer, release its seat from the app, or from the My servers page if the old one is gone.
- The iPhone and web apps, freeRecord on an iPhone; read, search, ask and upload recordings from a browser on your network. Neither needs a key, and phones and browsers don’t count against your two servers.
- A 14-day trial on every serverEvery server gets 14 days of full use from its first start. After that it still accepts recordings, and every transcript stays readable, searchable and askable. Only processing pauses until a key is entered, and then the waiting recordings are processed.
- Activate once, then offlineA server gets its license from our activation service once, when you enter the key. After that it checks the license itself, and only contacts us again if you release its seat.
- Version 1 updatesFixes and improvements in version 1 are included.
What it doesn’t
- A third server at the same timeTwo is the limit. A key can give back three seats in any 30 days, which covers replacing a computer but not moving one key around a fleet.
- Hosting it for other peopleRunning Scribe as a service for customers, or for organizations other than yours, needs a separate arrangement. Ask.
- RedistributionThe license lets you run it. It doesn’t let you publish, resell or bundle it, or share your key.
- A promise about version 2If there’s ever a paid upgrade, it’ll be explained when it happens, and it won’t disable the version you already bought.
