MadCap Flare Online License and Pricing FAQ’s

How is MadCap Flare Online licensed and what is included with my purchase?

How do I purchase a subscription to Flare Online?

A Flare Online license can be purchased (1) directly within the trial version of MadCap Flare Online, (2) online in the MadCap Software store, or (3) by contacting sales@madcapsoftware.com or +1 (858) 320-0387.

Can I use a purchase order?

A company issued purchase order will be accepted for annual commitments only, with payment due within 30-days of purchase. All purchase orders must be completed through your sales account manager only.

Can I change (add or remove) the number seats on my existing Flare Online account?

You can add, reduce or cancel the number of users on your account at any time. Refunds, however, are not given for cancellations or downgrades during your subscription term.

Can I purchase additional storage?

Your MadCap Flare Online account includes 10 GB of storage usage. You can purchase additional storage for your company account in 10 GB increments, within Flare Online or by contacting your sales account manager.

Are there any additional fees or installation cost?

There are no additional fees or installation costs with your MadCap Flare Online purchase.

Will my work (e.g., teams, users, projects) in the trial version of Flare Online be maintained once I convert to a full license?

If you purchase through the Flare Online application itself, all your work in the trial version will be converted to the full license. If you purchase through e-commerce, you will be provided a brand new license key and will be starting over with a clean Flare Online installation. If purchasing with a purchase order, a MadCap Software sales representative can assist you with converting your trial to a full license and preserving your work.
