New Licensing Model

Along with new Atavism 2018.1 version and it’s future progress we are introducing the new licensing model for Atavism. All present Atavism clients will remain all licenses and CCU configurations. Each license will allow you to run one Atavism world server in same time.

With new release there will be available 4 licenses of Atavism:

Atavism On-Premises Standard (20 CCU) – 499 USD

Atavism On-Premises Advanced (500 CCU) – 999 USD (previously Atavism On-Premises)

Atavism On-Premises Professional (3000 CCU) – 4 999 USD

Atavism On-Premises Ultra (Unlimited CCU) – 9 999 USD

All prices include VAT.

There will be also possible upgrades to a higher version for a price difference.

Maintenance Plan

We are also introducing Maintenance Plan. Each Maintenance Plan will allow getting Atavism updates. Clients without active Maintenance Plan will be able to use latest Atavism 2.x (which is Atavism 2.7) or latest Atavism version covered by expired Maintenance Plan. Maintenance Plan will cost 25% of license price (listed above) and will be attached to the specific license.

All new licenses will include 180 days of Maintenance Plan.

We are aware that some of the developers are hobbyists and in order to give you some accommodation time for 50 days you will receive 50% discount on Maintenance Plan.

Simple calculations will show you the amount of software compared to price.

Lets assume that most of developers have Atavism On-Premises (500 CCU) which will cost 999 USD, so yearly Maintenance Plan will be 250 USD, so it’s around 21 USD (including discount it will be 10.50 USD) per month, which is around half hour of programmers work, so for  the wage of half hour of programmers work you will receive our month of work by our company. We think it’s not too much for such product and support which we are constantly providing and we will continue to do so. Also, Maintenance Plans will be available in different versions (30, 90, 180, 365 days for each type of license).

We have hope that the new licensing model will meet with your understanding and you will appreciate our effort in Atavism development and its support.

We are pleased to inform you that based on the Community feedback, we decided to officially give our clients possibility to downgrade Atavism On-Premises Ultra (Unlimited CCU) license.

Atavism On-Premises Ultra (Unlimited CCU) owners can downgrade license by choosing one of two license variants which we prepared:

1. Atavism On-Premises Professional (3000 CCU) + Atavism On-Premises Standard (20 CCU)
2. Atavism On-Premises Advanced (500 CCU) + Atavism On-Premises Standard (20 CCU)

So generally it can be exchanged for 2 licenses, depending on your choice, but the Standard license is included in both options.

In order to submit such request Atavism On-Premises Ultra (Unlimited CCU) owner should send us an email which should contain:

1. E-mail on which Atavism On-Premises Ultra (Unlimited CCU) license was registered.
2. Atavism On-Premises Ultra (Unlimited CCU) license key.
3. Pack of licenses (1 or 2) to which downgrade should be proceded.

Above information should be sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Such downgrade is permanent and it won't be possible to revert it back.

Downgrade option is a one-time limited offer, it's free and can be done from now on until the end of April 2018.

We have hope that such initiative will let you continue your journey with Atavism and it's development process.

Dear Community,

As some of you may know we worked for some time on new documentation, to update and add some information and we think that we are ready to share new version with you. We added some information about configuration, plugins, updated screenshots and redesigned whole website with more friendly search functionality.

Let us know what you think about it, what we could improve to make it better.

Over time we will try to fill the gaps in documentation and present more use cases, we are still working on Tutorials part so they will be also presented over time.

Address where you will find new documentation remain the same: http://wiki.atavismonline.com
