Subscription

1. What is the subscription model for licensing the Devprime platform?

The Devprime platform is licensed through a monthly or annual subscription agreement, depending on the number of developers in the projects. Each subscription unit is named to a user of the Devprime platform.

2. When hiring Devprime, when and how do we start the Devprime implementation process?

When contracting the Devprime subscription through the portal, access will already be available soon after confirmation and payment on the platform. For consulting services contracted in addition to the enterprise agreement, we will start activities within 20 days of signing the contract.

3. What is the default support model in the Devprime platform subscription?

Devprime will offer the standard support service free of charge to all customers who have an active subscription licensing agreement. This service includes updates to the Devprime Stack, Devprime CLI, Devprime Portal, including improvements, fixes, and new functionality.

4. Who can update the Devprime platform and how is it done?

Updates will always be available through NuGet packages for active contracts and will be performed manually by the contractor’s development team, following internal homologation and DevOps procedures.

5. How long can I upgrade the Devprime platform?

After the end of the licensing agreement, you will not be allowed access to new updates to the Devprime Stack, CLI, accelerators, and Devprime Portal features linked to the subscription. Applications created during the active subscription period are allowed to use the licensing and run the components up to the last version made available by Devprime while the subscription was active.

6. How to include new developers in a subscription?

The inclusion of new people in the project can be done by reporting to the contract manager and respecting the contractual terms agreed upon for adjustment in billing. If it exceeds the contracted amount, additional inclusion will be charged.

7. How is the licensing, by developer or for the company?

Licensing in the Free and/or Developer plan is individual and non-transferable. The Enterprise plan is contracted according to the number of developers in the company, whether internal or external linked to other companies. When an Enterprise developer leaves, you can assign the license to another professional.

8. Are NuGet components supplied to the contractor?

During the subscription term, we provide access to Devprime’s components as per the subscription model.

9. Who can I include in the subscription to use Devprime?

All developers in the company, including internal and external developers, who are performing implementations using Devprime platform technology.

10. What happens if I sell a project based on the Devprime platform?

For a better understanding, we can consider some hypotheses to visualize the difference between the models adopted in the commercialization of software based on the Devprime platform.

a) If you have developed a closed product and are going to publish it in your company’s or private environment in the customer’s cloud, the buyer of your product will be able to execute it without requiring an additional contract.

b) If you have developed custom software and the buyer intends to edit and modify it, then he will need to purchase Devprime licenses for the software development team.

11. What to do when you stop paying for the Devprime subscription?

When contracting cloud services such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS and Google Cloud, access is completely suspended at the end of the subscription. In the Devprime platform subscription model, customers continue to use software created with the right to use until the last version of the Devprime Stack released before the end of the contract. It is not allowed to use the CLI, create new projects, use accelerators, access new updates to the Devprime Stack, CLI, and Devprime Portal resources.

12. Where are the business rules with the Devprime platform?

We use an innovative approach, isolating the business rules in a project called “Domain” based on the architecture Devprime Domain Foundation and following the Domain Driven Design (DDD) pattern. This project represents the business context and can be easily copied and executed externally to Devprime.
