MIRTOS licensing levels and pricing structure


The cost of MIRTOS licenses is both cumulative and progressive.  Only the MIRTOS licenses have a discount structure on this website.  We do not discount the hardware on which it is runs, since our focus is the MIRTOS Operating System, not hardware.

Cumulative means that the cost is based on how many licenses are registered to a particular user.  It also means that all licenses need not be purchased at the same time to obtain a discount.  The cost of the "next license" is based upon how many are licensed to an individual user (or company) before the purchase and how many will be licensed to that user afterward (or how many are being purchased.)  It is done this way to encourage additional purchases.  This could be to expand your control and monitoring device network, or to make them into a product, or to be a reseller.

Progressive means that there are licensing tiers.  The initial ten (10) tiers, or levels, apply to the next individual license purchased.  After that, levels are in a specific unit pattern (i.e., 20, 40, 65, and 100) and decimal multiples thereof, except the very last tier.

The cost tier table is presented above, with an invitation to try them using the interactive cost calculator on the left.  There are some interesting things that happen with this method.  Try a starting license count of 19 and purchase one more.  Yes, it really does mean that!

The website supports the tiered discounts for multiple licenses in single purchases, but doesn't yet support the cumulative aspect, since it deviates significantly from the usual way things are done.  Implementing that is rather high on our task list.

We also offer installation of MIRTOS on your device(s) that are based on the ATmega 328P, 1284P, or 2560 microcontrollers.
