Whether or not KBPublisher is installed on your web server depends on which version you choose.

• KBPublisher Download is installed directly on your web server, which means no monthly fees, transaction fees, email fees, etc. It has a simple step-by-step installation process. KBPublisher can be installed on virtually any web hosting account and does not require a dedicated server.
   
• KBPublisher Cloud is hosted by us, and runs on a monthly or annual billing cycle. KBPublisher Cloud includes the same features as the on-premise version (KBPublisher Download), but we handle all backups and updates.

Yes, this product contains a language file that contains all the text used inside the application.

Your purchase of a KBPublisher license grants you the right to make use of a single instance of the software. You may temporarily install a second instance of KBPublisher on an internal development server for testing and deployment planning, but only one instance of KBPublisher shall be in operation (available for access to your admin users or end users).

If you wish to run more than one instance of KBPublisher, you must purchase an additional license for each additional instance.

The KBPublisher installation wizard gets you up and running quickly.
While it's easy enough to set up yourself, if you would prefer KBPublisher professionally installed and configured by our developers, you can order our "Installation Service" when you purchase the product and we will install KBPublisher  for you.
Please note that this service excludes installation of PHP and MySQL.
We will require the ability to remotely connect to your web server and database server.

Your software license will be e-mailed to you as soon as your purchase has been verified.
In most cases licenses are sent out the same day as your purchase.

The support and maintenance package includes:

1. Access to official email support. 
   If you have a problem, email support@kbpublisher.com and we will try to help you.
   
2. Access to all major KBPublisher versions released while the subscription is valid.
   Major versions have a two-digit release number (x.x).  Thus release 3.0 is a major release, as is release 3.5.  Minor versions have a release number (x.x.x).  Release 3.0.1 is a minor release.
   Even when your upgrade and support package runs out, you can still upgrade minor releases for your major release. 

The first year of support and maintenance package is free. When it expires and you want support, or want to upgrade to a new version, you will need to renew your subscription. Price depends upon the license you have purchased. Please see our pricing page for details.

What if I choose not to extend my support and maintenance package?

You don't have to extend your support and maintenance package.  KBPublisher will still work for you.  All it means is that you continue to use the version you purchased.  You cannot upgrade (except for minor versions) and you will not get the same level of support.

Please clarify what you mean when you say "Even when your support and maintenance package runs out, you can still upgrade minor releases for your major release"

Suppose you bought KBPublisher version 3.0.  That was the major release.  You've had it for 18 months now, and you let the support and maintenance period run out.  Then we go ahead and release 3.0.1.  Even though your maintenance package has run out, you can still upload and install release 3.0.1. 

You can only get minor release upgrades for your current version.  If you are using release 3.0 and are out of the support period, then you can only upgrade to releases 3.0.x.  You cannot upgrade to, say, release 3.5.1 (unless you extended your support and maintenance package first.

Major versions implement new functionality.  Minor versions are for fixes and small tweaks to the system.

Yes, all your data retained. It is safe to add data to your trial version.

The limitation is for users with privileges. Not all users have privileges, but when a user is assigned a privilege he becomes a staff user, and has access to Admin Area. These are the users who must be licensed.

For example you can have 1,000 users with a KBPublisher account, but if only five of them have a privilege then you have five staff users, and your license only needs to cover these five. We have another example on the User Licensing page.
