Notes

- All packages include access to all SDK upgrades (both major and minor) released during the support term.
- Package types cannot be mixed. (So it's not possible to purchase a full source licence for a first product and then a binary licence for a second.)
- Prices are for the games sector and include labelling requirements.
- Licensing is for both development and redistribution, and a 6 month minimum development period between licensing and product release may be required.
- Initial support term duration counts from immediately after evaluation.
- Prices quoted are valid for licensing until the end of first quarter 2022.
- Reductions are possible when licensing for multiple products simultaneously, or for titles with territory or pricing restrictions (please ask, for details).
Binary only licensing
The binary package includes all SDK functionalty, and all benchmarks (our benchmarks are run against this package), but this package does include some default instrumentation that can be turned off with the source packages for better performance.
Binary packages are available for the Windows-x86 and Windows-x64 platform targets.
| Package | Platform targets | Cost, single product |
| Binaries only | 1 platform, Windows-x86 or Windows-x64 | 3800 euros |
| Binaries only | 2 platforms, Windows-x86 and Windows-x64 | 6400 euros |
Full source licensing
The full source packages include all source code required to build the PathEngine DLL, TestBed, and content tools.
This makes it possible to customise all aspects of the SDK, make special builds, turn on and off API checking and memory instrumentation, statically link with the SDK without linkage constraints, and so on.
Platform targets
Platform targets are defined in terms of target OS type and processor architecture, with build configuration and optimised platform specific components currently available for the following platforms:
- Windows, x86
- Windows, x64
- Linux/FreeBSD, x86
- Linux/FreeBSD, x64
- Xbox 360
- Cell BE platforms / PS3

The SDK has also been ported to the PS4, Android and Mac OS X. (Please ask for additional details.)
| Package | Platform targets | Cost, single product |

Support
Support is by email and includes technical support (in the form of responses to queries about how the SDK works and how to integrate the SDK effectively with the licensed project), troubleshooting, warranty, and access to upgrades (for both major and minor SDK releases).
When licensing after an evaluation please note that the initial support term starts the day after the expiry of the evaluation period, regardless of the actual date of licence purchase.
Prices for support term renewal are as follows:
