$OS 10.22 - ExcelFormat.dll

[Doug Easterbrook]

a little clarification on licencing.

there is NONE for excelformat  xcomp— thats free to the omnis community

you can run it in demo mode without buying anything.   The first line of the exported xls or xlsx file will say its a demo.    so you can try it before you buy it.


because the libxl guy was charging so little for the binary of the code, we thought it fair that eany omnis developer could buy one licence for the platorms they needed.  

They are $199 for mac  & $199 USD for windows and last forever.     A licence will for for 1 year on any subsequent releases of the underlying libxl libraries.

if an update is needed to get to the next verison of libxl, then its $99 USD for an update.



in the number years that we’ve provided libxl, I’ve only paid the initial licence and for two updates.   reason being… its pretty stable.   Still, its good for the developer to get a small income steam.



finally,  the licence from libxl is for the developer — and unlimited distribution, so buy once, deliver to anybody.
