Licensing for ArchiverFS and Further Information

Technology

The major product that MLtek Software company sells is ArchiverFS which is a file management program offering a file archiving solution for servers and other storage systems. It is unlike any other file archiving software as it does not use a database of any type to store files, file meta data or pointers to files. Using this approach gives ArchiverFS a very tiny footprint on any host system it is run on. This program was released first in 2002 and is now used in many organizations around the globe for the management and transfer of old files to storage.

Spanish

Over the last few years, there has been a steady increase in clients or customers coming from countries that are non-English speaking. This includes a few from China as well as quite a few from Spanish speaking countries. To support this inclination, MLtek soon release a Spanish language addition of ArchiverFS. This will compliment the English, and the Chinese simplified and traditional versions that are already available. In the meantime, there is Spanish version of ArchiverFS on the product pages of their website.

Subscription licenses available

Currently there have been multiple requests to establish a subscription-based licensing version for ArchiverFS. Up until recently, all licenses were perpetual working on a “buy once use forever” foundation with annual support for renewals. In spite of the licensing cost being only a fraction of the nearest competitor and fact that ArchiverFS already embodies such an amazing value for the money, this model has the impact of front loading most of the costs. By being able to offer a subscription-based license along with the perpetual license, allows MLtek to provide another way to distribute the early costs more equally over years 2 and beyond.
