DICOMatic 2.1 - The Annual license

What is the annual license?


With this license, you are provided with 2 license keys: a "study" license for the readOmatic module, and "format" license for the conversion module.

The readOmatic module is licensed "by study". The key will allow you to read up to a fixed number of studies inside a year. Each study read from a tape or an MOD will be counted again this number.

The conversion module is licensed with a "format" key valid for 1 year. It will allow you to convert an illimited amount of images from the specified format during that year.

This license need to be renewed each year. However the renewal price is 25% less than the initial first year license.

So, if you have archives from one scanner, the $1,000 license will enable you to read and convert up to 400 studies per year.

If you have archives from more than 1 scanner, then you will need a bigger package since the conversion key will probably not cover the formats of both scanners.

Note: This license is for the end users only. It is not to be used for comercial purpose. If you are a image migration service, you should use the token license instead.

How is this license working?


Transfering images from an archive media to your PACS require 2 steps. Both can be done from inside the readOmatic module, but they still are licensed differently.

Reading images from the media:

The study ID of each file read from a medium will be compared to a list of studies already read. If the image is from a new study, then the total number of studies in your license will be decrease by one and this study ID will be added to the list.

The list of studies already read is cleared when you eject the media, or when you ask readOmatic to re-scan the media.

Note: Some medias are structured in a such a way that it is impossible for readOmatic to know the Study ID of a file on it. If this is the case of your medias, assuming that a typical study contain 100 images, and that a typical image is smaller than 1Mb, we will charge 1 study for every 100Mb read from the media.

conversion the images to DICOM:

Once the images are read from the media, they need to be converted to DICOM. The yearly license will let you convert an unlimited number of images from one scanner. If, for exemple, you have a license to read images from a Siemens CT scanner, then the conversion license will only be valid for Siemens CT images.

Note: Since the conversion license does not count the number of images being processed, this license is also ideal for those who wish to hook-up a scanner directly to a PACS using the DICOM_Watch or the Connect modules.
