I want to buy a Single User License. Why don't you have it?

You need to use a Team License. You can read here about the reasons.

Is there a PVS-Studio demo version? Can I download it?

Yes, you can download it here.

Several different sets of rules are included in the analyzer. Can I buy only some of them?

No, you cannot. The analyzer is not divisible.

Can I use a regular license on a build server?

Yes, the build server is a regular machine and you need to install the license on it as well. Our standard Team License for a team of up to nine people can be used on a build server. If you have several build servers and a large team, you have reasons to think of Enterprise licenses.

Do you have named licenses (for specific users)?

A license is a pair of "name/value", which includes some encoded additional information (including the date). The same license is used on all machines, both in case of a regular license (for a team of up to nine people) and for the Enterprise license.

Do you have floating licenses?

No, because we have very convenient Enterprise licenses. If you think that you need a floating license, just have a look at our Enterprise licenses.
