Licensing the Pollserver
There are several different levels of licence for different kinds of users. Pick the terms that apply most closely to you. The terms of the Licenses are liable to change without notice. Although we aim to give as much warning as possible for any changes, it is you responsibility to check this page regularly. If you'd like to read more about how it works, check out the
general introduction, the
FAQs and the
instructions for using the Pollserver.
Free trial
Anyone can try the Pollserver for a month free of charge. After this period you must arrange to upgrade your license or your account will be suspended. At our discretion we may extend the trial period beyond a month. If you'd like a trial, apply through the
enquiries form.
Individuals, academic institutions and not-for-profit organisations
At present, these kinds of users can license the Pollserver free of charge. Both the set-up fee and the annual fee are waived. In cases where the bandwidth demands are heavy, we reserve the right to charge a small annual fee to cover the costs of handling your traffic. Apply for a licence through the
enquiries form.
Commercial organisations
If you wish to implement the Pollserver on a web site belonging to a commercial organisation, there is an initial set-up fee payable when your full acccount is established and an annual fee payble in advance. The annual fee is bandwidth based, the costs being calculated according to the number of votes received on a monthly basis. The rates are listed below. Apply for a licence through the
enquiries form.
