Pricing
One licence per computer, a year. When it opens, anyone can buy, wherever you are. This is a launch price.

The checkout shows the price for where you are. These prices are for 1 to 49 computers. For 50 computers or more, contact us for a quote. In Canada we can invoice; elsewhere we'll arrange it by card.
Every computer costs the same. For example, 12 computers cost 12 × C$199: C$2,388 a year before tax. No discounts.
What a computer licence covers
- Everyone on that computer. Any number of Windows users can use BriefSafe on it.
- Activated once. Each computer goes online once to activate. After that it keeps working offline.
- Moving to a new computer. Release the old one in the app, or on this website if it's gone, then activate the new one. Any 365 days in a row allow 2 releases, or as many as the computers you bought if that is more.
- Not for shared computers. Terminal servers, Windows multi-session and Citrix machines, where many people use one computer at once, aren't covered.
BriefSafe connects to us only to activate or release a computer, to start the trial, to check the licence once a day while it's open (which also picks up a renewed licence) and, if you turn it on, to check for a new version. It sends the licence number, its fingerprint and a computer code, or for the trial only a computer code. The update check shows only BriefSafe's version number and this computer's internet address. Never your documents. If it can't reach us, it keeps working. The how it works page lists everything that can leave your computer.
Buying and renewing, when it opens
For 1 to 49 computers, you pay by card on Stripe's checkout page. Stripe sells you the licence as a reseller, so the checkout says "Sold through Link", and your receipt and card statement come from Link (shown as LINK.COM*). We issue your licence and support it.
In Canada, from 10 computers, you may ask to pay by invoice at the same price. Elsewhere, you pay by card.
A licence lasts a year and renews by itself, and the app picks up the renewed licence by itself. We email you 30 days before. Renewal is your choice: turn it off in one click at any time, and buy another year later by hand if you like.
Not satisfied? Ask within 60 days of a payment for a full refund, wherever you are. Ask us; Link makes the refund. You can also ask Link. A refunded licence ends: at its next check, BriefSafe stops taking new documents, and everything you've done stays.
If you stop, there's nothing to undo. Your documents were never with us, and the app still opens everything you've done. It just won't take on new work. If you pay by card, turn renewal off.
