FAQ: Purchasing

How do I purchase Presenter?

For Instant Effects Presenter and 3D Presenter: Once your evaluation using the free trial version is concluded, you can purchase a license that is tied to a single system ("node-locked"), or a license that resides in a dongle that can be moved from one machine to another. For node-locked licenses, you must provide Instant Effects with your System ID, Hostname and network MAC address. For details on getting that information to Instant Effects, please consult the product documentation.

Node-locked licenses are sent to you electronically. Dongle licenses require us to ship you a physical USB dongle.

For Event Presenter, S3D Presenter or Master Presenter: Please contact our sales department, or your authorized Instant Effects dealer to discuss the most appropriate licensing and support options.

Can my company purchase Instant Effects Presenter offline using a standard corporate purchase order?

Yes. Contact our sales department to arrange for purchase via purchase order.

Can I install Presenter on an additional computer?

Event Presenter, S3D Presenter, and Master Presenter are premium products that are licensed via a dongle. You are free to install the Presenter software on as many systems as you would like. When the dongle is present, Presenter will run in a fully licensed state. When the dongle is not present, Presenter will run with the Instant Effects Presenter feature set in trial (watermarked) mode.

Similary, the dongle-based license for Instant Effects Presenter or 3D Presenter can be moved to other systems as desired. Node-locked Presenter licenses can NOT be moved to another system.

Do I get a product CD and printed documentation with my purchase?
Presenter is delivered as a fully electronic product. That allows us to provide more frequent updates. (One year of free product updates is included when you first purchase Presenter.) Presenter does come with complete online documentation that includes tutorials and examples. For those who prefer printed documentation that can be reviewed offline, the PDF version of the documentation can be printed.
