Frequently asked questions
Synergy has two license types, Personal and Business. Which one you need comes down to who pays for Synergy and who deploys it, not whether you use it for work. If you buy it with your own money and no company reimburses or manages it for you, a Personal License is right, including on a work computer.
These answers are a plain-English guide to help you choose. The EULA is the agreement that applies.
What's the difference between a Personal and a Business License?
Who pays for it and who runs it. A Personal License is one you buy and look after yourself, with your own money, and that no company reimburses. A Business License is one a company pays for, reimburses, deploys, manages, or buys through procurement. The deciding factor is what the company does, not whether your work benefits from the software.
I use Synergy on a work computer. Do I need a Business License?
No, as long as you bought the license yourself and weren't reimbursed. Using your own license on a work machine is fine. Where you use it doesn't change the license type. Who paid for it does.
I work from home. Does that change anything?
No. Home or office makes no difference. What matters is who paid for the license and whether a company deploys or manages it.
I bought it myself and my employer never paid me back. Does that matter?
Yes, and it's the point. If you paid for it yourself and no company reimbursed you, a Personal License is right, even if your work benefits from it, and even if your employer won't buy you one or doesn't know you use it.
I'm a freelancer, contractor, consultant, or self-employed. What do I need?
A Personal License, as long as no other organization pays for it or reimburses you. Working for yourself, or having clients, doesn't make it a Business License. It's only Business when a company you work for or a client pays for the license, reimburses you, or directs how it's deployed.
I own a one-person business and bought the license through it. Is that Business?
No. A genuine one-person business with no employees other than you can hold a Personal License. Buying it through your own company is still your own money. It becomes a Business License only when a separate organization pays for it or reimburses you, or when you're working inside a company as one of its staff, under its direction.
My employer reimburses me for the purchase. What then?
That's a Business License. If a company, client, or institution pays for, reimburses, funds, or expenses the license in any form, a Business License is required, whatever name is on the purchase.
When is a Business License needed?
When a company does any of these. Pays for or reimburses it. Tells or helps staff to get it. Deploys or installs it through IT or a software portal. Manages it centrally. Makes it standard kit for a role. Or deals with us through procurement, such as a quote, purchase order, invoice with payment terms, contract, service-level agreement, security review, or assigned account manager. Any one of these is enough.
My company wants to buy Synergy for several people. What do we need?
A Business License. It's built for buying and deploying across a team, with the deployment, support, and procurement features companies need.
My company has a procurement process. Which license?
A Business License. If the purchase goes through procurement, is funded by the company, or is managed as part of a company rollout, it's Business.
Will my existing license stop working?
No. This clarifies the wording. It doesn't disable or change any license you already hold.
Is Synergy moving to a subscription?
No. A Personal License is perpetual, and the EULA now says so in those words. Business licensing exists because companies need things individuals don't, such as rollout across teams, central management, SLAs, and procurement. The business price funds that work.
