Licensing
Single Product License
A Single Product License allows you to embed a Micriµm component into one end-product which
can be manufactured in any quantity, for the life of the end-product. In other words, this is a royaltyfree
license but a different license is required for each different end product (i.e. model) that embeds
the Micriµm component even if the end product is in the same family as a previously licensed end
product by a different model number or processor type.
General Rule: If you consider it a separate product…so
do we!
This license is specific to the processor used AND the specific name and model of the end product.
Examples of a Single Product include any single model of a TV,
HDTV, VCR, DVD Player, Network Switch, Network Router, etc. If
different only by color then it’s considered the same end-product.
A Single Product License includes free updates, phone and e-mail support for 90 days.
Product Line License
A Product Line License allows you to embed a Micriµm component
into any number of end-products within a 'Product Family'. You
can manufacture an unlimited number of units of each of those
products, for the life of the end-products within the product
family. In other words, this is a royaltyfree license but applicable
to all end-products that do similar functions within the same
product family.
Examples of End-Product lines are: HDTV’s, VCRs, DVD Players, MP3 Players, Washing Machines,
GSM Cell Phones, PDA’s, Network Switches, Network Routers, etc.
A Product Line License includes free updates, phone and e-mail support for One Year for two users.

Micriµm component into any number of End-Products using
a single, specific, processor type (e.g. 68HC12, 80x86, ARM7,
ARM9, ColdFire, MicroBlaze, Nios II, PowerPC, etc.). You can
manufacture an unlimited number of units of each of those products,
for the life of the end-products that use of the specified Processor
Type from a specific manufacturer, e.g.; Atmel, Freescale, Xilinx
etc.
Examples of Per-CPU Type End-Products can be a combination of all of the following; so long as
they ALL use the same processor from the same manufacturer: HDTV’s, VCRs, DVD Players, MP3
Players, etc.

Site License
