Licensing is provided on a per-user basis. This means that you must purchase a license for each individual user of Aqua Data Studio in your organization. However, a single user may install the software on as many as two computers simultaneously.

Floating or concurrent licenses are not available, and once a license is issued it may not be transferred to another user or registered to another username. A person or a company registered as a licensed user is assumed to be the owner of the license.

Free Evaluation

You may download and evaluate a fully functional version of Aqua Data Studio for 14 days before purchasing a license. The purpose of the evaluation period is to give you the opportunity to understand the full functionality of Aqua Data Studio and determine its usability in your own work environment. Full support is extended to evaluators during this period. 

We recommend an initial 3–4 hours to install, configure and walk through the software documentation in order to fully evaluate each and every feature of Aqua Data Studio. Be sure to write down any questions or comments you have, and then email them to us for support.

You may repeat the evaluation process until you are comfortable with the quality and functionality of the product, at which time you may make a decision about its usefulness in your own work environment. This method of evaluation prevents users from "casually" using the software over long periods of time and never fully understanding its capabilities. It also provides us with valuable feedback, which we use to improve the software immediately for the benefit of all users.

The astounding number of new features and enhancements found in Aqua Data Studio exist thanks to discussions with the Aqua Data Studio community. This interaction has worked well for us, and development remains community driven.
