Small Business Plan

  • 10.10. As a Small Business, when should I plan to purchase Distribution Licenses for my product?

    It is recommended you seek to purchase Distribution Licenses at least six (6) months in advance of your product deployment.

    Once your product is deployed, it is a requirement to report your product distributions every quarter to your respective Account Manager. If you do not yet know who that is, please reach out to us at license-management@qt.io.
