Virtio Virtual Platforms -
Virtio Virtual Platform: Virtio Virtual Platforms are software models of complete embedded systems used
for software development. Virtual platforms are built using Virtio's virtual
prototyping technology to create the high-performance software models of a complete
development platform.
Virtio Platform Development Kits: The platform development kit is an upgrade to a virtual platform that offers
all of the features of a virtual platform and adds the editing and compiling
capabilities needed to create new models and add peripherals from the peripheral
library.
Licensing Terminology -
Evaluation License: Initial term of evaluation is always 7-days and a user may extend the license
an additional 7-days by going to Virtio's website and renewing the license. The
license renewal is e-mailed to the user to confirm a correct e-mail address. Evaluation
licenses are created automatically and renewed automatically. Evaluation licenses are
always node-locked.
License-name: The license-name is a unique root platform identifier that identifies the
source of a platform. The license-name is used to make it easy for the originator of a
platform to release new versions to subscribed users without requiring any license
changes.
Subscriptions -
Virtio Virtual Platform Subscription This subscription gives an end user license to a virtual platform. Any updates
to that virtual platform during the term of the subscription are included. The virtual
platform subscription is based on it's unique license-name. Support for the virtual
platform is offered on a per incident basis. Virtio offers
support packages for virtual
platform subscribers.
Virtio Platform Development Kit Subscription This subscription provided an end user license to a platform development kit
including the starting platform and peripheral library. Any updates to the platform
and peripheral libraries during the term of the subscription are included. Upon
generation of a Platform Development Kit License a new unique license-name is assigned
that allows the licensee to send evaluation copies of derivative platforms to others
who can then buy a Virtio Virtual Platform Subscription and be able to run all
versions of the derivative platforms created for the term of their subscription.
Platform Development Kit customers can choose to provide support to customers using
their platforms or have Virtio provide support to the customer.
