Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Order

Q: What is the price of a multi-user-licence?
A: You can see the exact pricing on our order form. You find it in the help of Total Commander and on our homepage in the order section. Here are some examples how you calculate the total amount:
Licence for 5 users: 40.-+4x20.- = CHF 120.-
Licence for 10 users: 40.-+9x20.- = CHF 220.-
Licence for 15 users: 40.-+9x20.-+5x15.- = CHF 295.-
Licence for 25 users: 40.-+9x20.-+15x15.- = CHF 445.-
Licence for 50 users: 40.-+9x20.-+15x15.-+25x12.- = CHF 745.-
Licence for 100 users: 40.-+9x20.-+15x15.-+75x12.- = CHF 1345.-
Licence for 250 users: 40.-+9x20.-+15x15.-+75x12.-+150x8.- = CHF 2545.-

Q: How do I calculate the number of licences I need?
A: Total Commander licences are floating licences, also called "concurrent use": At a given time, for each purchased licence, one person may work with Total Commander on any number of computers, even simultaneously. If, for example, 10 employees run Total Commander on 20 computers (PC/laptop) at the same time, a 10-user licence is needed. An accurate detection is not necessary. Just estimate the maximum number of people using Total Commander at the same time (it's OK if this gets exceed for a short period of time).

Q: What's the price of an update from an older to the current version?
A: As soon as you are registered, (until further notice) all updates are free, provided that you get the latest version yourself by downloading it. This has been the case since version 1.0. Just install the new (Shareware) version over the old one. The only important thing is to keep the file wincmd.key.

Q: Can we resell Total Commander to a customer of us?
A: This is possible, but please note the following points:
1. We need the name AND address of the end-user (for the registration key). Please also indicate the shipping and billing address on your order.
2. Unfortunately we cannot offer a special reseller discount, because our prices were calculated for the end-user. You must bill your customer for your expenses.
3. If you order via Internet (2Checkout.com), please give us all necessary names and addresses BEFORE you order ( by e-mail), and tell us when you are going to order online.

Q: We already have a site-licence (multi-user-licence) of Total Commander and would like to order additional licences. Is this possible and how much does it cost?
A: You can always buy additional licences to an existing licence: The price is the difference between the price of the bigger licence and your existing licence plus CHF 5.- for shipping & handling. Example: 20 additional licences to an existing 5-user licence, giving a 25-user-licence:

  • Price 25-user-licence: CHF 445.- (40.-+9x20.-+15x15.-)
  • Price 5-user-licence: CHF 120.- (40.-+4x20.-)
  • Difference: CHF 325.- + 5.-S&H = CHF 330.-

The minimum amount to order additional licences is CHF 40.- Please indicate your existing registration number on your order. You can find this number on the original disk, the licence letter or in the menu "Help" - "About Total Commander".

Q: Do you offer an unlimited site licence?
A: No. There is no licence for an unlimited number of users. The normal single- and multi-user licences are valid for an unlimited amount of time, though.
