User Limit Definition

Code Effects Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate are licensed for a number of Users: the people in your organization who work in the Rule Repository, directly or through AI agents acting for them. The number your license allows is its User Limit, stated on the invoice for your package.

• A User counts toward the limit while they actively use the Rule Repository.
• AI agents acting on their own, services, and automated processes are not Users.
• The people whose data the Rule Engine evaluates, and the people who use your applications without working in the Rule Repository, are not Users.
• Each User must be a distinct person; several people may not share one user identity.
• Several licenses of the same package combine into one User Limit.
• Rule evaluation is never limited by the User Limit.

For details on the User Limit, refer to our EULA or contact us at codeeffects.com/support.

How to Get a Package

• Code Effects Personal: reference CodeEffects.Rule.Editor.Personal and CodeEffects.Rule.Engine.Personal from NuGet; both install CodeEffects.Rule.Common.Personal. The editor's browser script is on npm as @codeeffects/editor.
• Paid packages: request our price list or contact us for a quote. We issue an invoice that states your package, add-ons, User Limit, and price. Once it is paid, sign in to the Code Effects Portal and download your package: it is built for your license with your product key and holds the components your package includes, as assemblies and NuGet packages, and the Rule Repository's database scripts for the database you select. Paid packages are never published on NuGet.
• Then: follow the Implementation guide for the setup that matches your package.
• Upgrading from an earlier version: all earlier editions are deprecated, with an upgrade path to the version 7 packages; contact us for the package that replaces your current license.
