Purchasing or Leasing CatBase

We now offer the option of leasing CatBase instead of purchasing it!

The following table illustrates the differences between the purchase and leasing options:

  Purchase Lease
Price You pay the full price for the software up front. Pay a greatly reduced initial payment followed by a small payment each month.
Contract There is no ongoing contract for further payments. You agree to lease the software for a minimum of 12 months.
Support Free for 6 months; thereafter, an optional annual support fee is payable. Free as long as your lease payments are up to date.
Major Upgrades Free for the first 6 months; thereafter, free if you have purchased a support agreement, otherwise a fee is payable. * Free as long as your lease payments are up to date. *
Minor Upgrades Free Free
Other requirements  

Your computer must have access to the internet so that your lease status can be checked periodically.

You must supply us with credit card details for the monthly lease payments.

* Free upgrades apply only to the CatBase program, and not to 4D Server or any optional plug-ins.

Note: All products are both Macintosh and Windows compatible. Be sure to specify the correct platform when ordering!

CatBase is available in three Editions: Standard, Enterprise, and Data Chameleon. Click here to see a chart comparing the features of the various Editions.

When ordering CatBase Multi-user, specify the platform that the server will be running on: the clients can be any mixture of Mac and Windows.
