What does “royalty-free” pricing mean for Visual CE?
Royalty-free pricing means you don’t have to pay a separate fee for each handheld on which your final application is running. This insures that anyone can inexpensively deploy mobile database applications. For example, a company that is using a Visual CE-based application, built using the Professional Edition, on 25 handhelds pays as little as $16 per device for the Visual CE built applications. There are no per device fees required to deploy applications built with Visual CE, unless they also use mEnable or sqlceEnable.
