Batch Job Server Pricing

Each Windows NT 4.0, XP, Vista, 2000, 2003, 2008, or Windows 7 computer executing BJS batch jobs is considered to be a BJS server. Production servers, virtual servers, test servers, development servers, temporary servers, backup servers, emergency servers, disaster recovery system servers, cloned servers, and any other type of servers that execute BJS batch jobs must be licensed. Each of these computers requires a separate BJS license.

These licenses can be installed on a Windows NT computer (Server or Workstation), a Windows 7  2000 2003 Vista or 2008 computer (Professional, Server or Advanced Server) or a Windows XP computer (Professional). Once a license is installed, the Windows computer is considered to be a BJS server.

The number of users shown above for each license indicates the number of usernames that can be granted access on a BJS server. Access to a BJS server is controlled by the Batch Users local group. For example, for the Server Type D license, up to 15 usernames can be placed in the Batch Users local group. Usernames can be specified using a global group.

There is no limit on administrator access. In addition to the number of usernames shown above, all members of the Administrators local group are granted access to a BJS server.

The client software for Batch Job Server is included with purchase. With a Site License Batch Job Server can be used on all servers in an organization within a 25 mile radius from the central location. This does not include servers in subsidiaries or other organizations that are associated with the purchasing organization but are considered by law as separate organizations.

For minor upgrades within a version, beyond 30 days from purchase date, the upgrade price is 25% of the retail license price. Software support includes technical support incidents and all enhancement and maintenance upgrades within BJS version 3.x. Support is available on an annual basis.

BJS on Virtual Systems
Wherever the BJS service is installed, a license is required. For example, if there are three virtual instances of Windows on one computer and each vitual system is running its own instance of the BJS service, then a BJS license is needed for each of the three virtual instances of Windows.


License Transfers Between Companies 

In order to complete a license transfer, and register BJS software licenses, licenses only will be transferred to another company when all licenses owned by a company are upgraded to Batch Job Server version 3.

Price Reductions for BJS
Regarding discounts, BJS is priced the same to everyone. There are no discounts.  We understand your financial concerns. Our pricing model is
set because of  market trends, which include:

1. Court cases where the United States Federal Government has filed lawsuits against vendors who promised but did not deliver their "best pricing".

2. Customers want the "best price".  Camellia Software's prices are publicly posted on our website, and the same price to everyone.

3. Resellers ask for a discount. We do not sell through resellers except as a convenience to our customers. It is the same price, as published
 on our website, to resellers or VARs.


Current pricing is posted on the Camellia Software website.
