Distribution

FlexeLint is distributed as obfuscated C source code on CD-ROM or via download (if you order online with a credit card). 

Installation

Installation requires the compilation of the obfuscated FlexeLint source modules using a K&R or ANSI C compiler. Under Unix, a command line of 

     cc *.c

is all that is needed.  A basic knowledge of C is required for installation. Having FlexeLint in source form has many advantages.  If you update your compiler or operating system, all you need to do is recompile the FlexeLint modules and you're off and running. 

Running FlexeLint

By default, FlexeLint is a console application and is run from the command line.  It can easily be set up to run from within your make file as part of a build.

If you are using an editor or IDE, you may be able to set up FlexeLint to run as a tool from within the IDE.   Normally this entails providing FlexeLint with the appropriate options to alter the format of the FlexeLint error messages to match what your IDE expects.

Pricing

A one user, non-floating license for one computer workstation is $998

A ONE location license for your mainframe, server or local area network is as follows:
         To license one concurrent user would cost $1998. 
         To license up to five concurrent users would cost $5,000. 
         To license up to ten concurrent users would cost $10,000. 
         Each additional user after 10 would be $700.

If you need FlexeLint for more than one location, contact Sales with the number of users and number of locations you want to license, and they will provide you with a quote.

License agreement

For FlexeLint, we require a license agreement which identifies the licensed machine (manufacturer, model number and operating system) or licensed LAN, the number of licensed users, and the authorized location(s).

Patches

Patches to the FlexeLint source modules are released every few months and are posted on our Version 8.00 Patch Page.  After applying a patch, you will need to recompile your FlexeLint source modules.  Patches provide bug fixes and minor enhancements.  Configuration files also are updated (as needed) and posted.  There is no cost for patches.
