Why buy a license?

Maybe you have tested DICOMatic with your data, you like the results and now you want to get rid of the pesky "Demo" watermark? Or you are using readOmatic to read your archive media and you would like to read more than 5 images at a time? Or you are using DICOM_Watch to hock-up your old scanner to your PACS but it keep shutting down automatically every 30 minutes?

Which license do I need?

The product is licensed "per use". Each action of the product gobble up tokens. You need to buy these tokens from us. They are stored in a USB dongle and are sold by bundles with prices going from 1¢ to 1/10¢ each.

To give an example, if you ask the readOmatic module to read and convert a MOD (Magneto Optical Disk) containing 1,000 images, the program will use 2 tokens per image (1 to extract the file from the media, 1 to convert the extracted file to DICOM), for a total of 2,000 tokens. If you bought your tokens with the $1,000 chunk, then you have used $20 worth of credits, and you will be able to read 50 disks. If you bought your tokens with the $10,000 chunk, then you have used $2 worth of credits, and you will be able to read 5,000 disks.

Of course, it is always possible to add tokens to your dongle. You can buy additional chunks of tokens at any time, they will be added to the total already present in your license dongle.

How much does it cost?

The token bundle prices are (in $US):

• $1,000 for 100,000 tokens (1¢ each)
• $2,000 for 400,000 tokens (½¢ each)
• $5,000 for 2,000,000 tokens (¼¢ each)
• $10,000 for 10,000,000 tokens (1/10¢ each)

How are the credits used by the modules?

conversion module:

Each image file converted will use one token. However, if a file contains multiple images, then the module may use more than one token depending on the number of images and their size in pixels. The module will use 1/16 of token for each image of 64x64 pixels or smaller, ¼ of token for images between 64x64 and 128x128 pixels and 1 token each for bigger images. The resulting count will be rounded up to the next integer

readOmatic module:

Each file read from a medium will use one token. However, files read from a CD, DVD or DLT tape will only use ¼ of a token.

DICOM_Watch module:

This module will use 10 tokens per hours while running
