Dual License Model
TMD Server is distributed under a dual license system:
- Free Use License: For personal, educational, or research use. 100% free with no feature restrictions, provided it is not used commercially.
- Commercial License: Required for any commercial, business, or organizational use.
Commercial License Terms
The commercial license is based on concurrent sessions. This model is flexible and fair for businesses of all sizes.
- Licenses are floating: not tied to a specific device or user.
- You can install TMD Server on unlimited devices.
- What matters is the number of concurrent sessions you are using at any one time.
What is a Session?
A session is defined as a remote connection to a distinct authenticated user session on a host machine.
Examples
- Multiple clients (e.g., desktop + phone) connected to the same host session = 1 session
- Accessing 1 host machine with 1 user session = 1 session
- Accessing 2 host machines (or 2 separate user sessions on the same machine) simultaneously = 2 sessions
- Accessing 3 distinct user sessions at the same time = 3 sessions
Why This Model?
This licensing system ensures fairness:
- Individuals and hobbyists can use TMD Server freely.
- Businesses only pay for the real value they get: the number of simultaneous remote sessions.
- No artificial feature restrictions or device limits.
Most importantly:
- If you make money using TMD, you should pay for the product to help its developer keep it alive.
Pricing
For commercial use, you must purchase a license for each concurrent session. The price varies based on the license duration:
- €6 / $7 – Valid 1 month
- €60 / $70 – Valid 1 year
- €115 / $134 – Perpetual
