The Token license

With this type of license, the product is licensed "per use". Each action of the product consume 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 $5,000 (for 2,000,000 tokens) to $15,000 (for 10,000,000 tokens).

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 consume 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 $5,000 bundle, then you have used $5 worth of tokens. If you bought your tokens with the $10,000 bundle, then you have used $4 worth of tokens. If you bought your tokens with the $15,000 bundle, then you have used $3 worth of tokens.

Note: The number of tokens needed to read an MOD are capped to a maximum. Please see further down for more informations.

Of course, it is always possible to add tokens to your dongle. You can buy additional 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)^*:

• $5,000 for 2,000,000 tokens (¼¢ each)
• $10,000 for 5,000,000 tokens (1/5¢ each)
• $15,000 for 12,000,000 tokens (1/8¢ each)

How are the tokens 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:

If a file is smaller than 10Kb, we assume it is not an image and it we will not charge for it. However, if a file is bigger than 1Mb, then it probably contain multiple images and we will use 1 token per megabyte to read it.

The number of token needed to read and convert the content of a WORM or MOD disk are capped to a maximum. Reading or reading and converting files from a disk will not consume more than the maximum number of token. This maximum is only function of the disk density. This maximum is in effect as long as the user does not re-scan the disk.

This is to help you estimate how many tokens are needed to read a disk: Since you can be sure that it will not be more than the maximum, and since this maximum is set low enough that reading most disks will reach it, You can budget that the maximum number of token are needed per disks.

DICOM_Watch and Connect module:

Both these modules by themselves do not use any tokens, however, they call the conversion module who, in turn, does consume tokens as described above.
