For commercial use you must buy a commercial annual subscription if needed:

Type of customer (Org or personal)	Conditions of using
Personal use	Free to use

Scientific researches	Free to use****
Non-profit organizations	Free to use
Commercial usage without MHBP, less than 25 Processors**	Free to use
Commercial usage with MHBP*****, one instance of DB per account***	Free to use

* Ownership of company must be directed, ownership via any kind of proxy company is prohibited.
** Processors are client parts of metaheuristic which are processing tasks. One instance of Metaheuristic can handle multiply Processors.
*** instance of DB is an installation of database in OS, not a scheme or database in term of DLL. I.e. - if you want to use multi-tenant option and host all your companies and users in one installation of DB, you have to buy subscription. Accounts in Main company (ID #1) are excluded from counting.
**** Citing isn't required but we will be glad if you cite Metaheuristic in your paper. ***** usage of MHBP is an usage of Evaluation or/and Scenario

Commercial usage All other cases (i.e. there are 25 Processors** or more, multi-tenant/multi user installation, commercial support, usage of MHBP's Evaluation or/and Scenario, other cases):

• Annual subscription
  • $25k for Dispatcher***
  • $500 per Processor
  • $1200 per User*

* User is person with distinctive account in db. If person has 2 accounts this is calculated as 2 Users. Accounts in Main company (ID #1) are excluded from counting. ** Processors are client parts of metaheuristic which are processing tasks. One instance of Metaheuristic can handle multiply Processors. For using MHBP only, Processors aren't needed.
*** Dispatcher is a server part of metaheuristic which is serving all configurations and managing the process of assigning tasks to Processors.

If you need a commercial support, it can be bought at the same price as for Commercial usage.
