Hello Roberto,
Thank you for your question. The prices shown on our price list at
https://ampl.com/products/standard-price-list/ are for perpetual licenses and constitute a once-off fee. However, we highly recommend that you pay for AMPL's maintenance and support service each year to ensure access to AMPL and solver software updates, regeneration of license files necessitated by hardware changes, and technical assistance with installation and execution.
Unless indicated otherwise, the quoted prices include one year of maintenance and support. Subsequent maintenance and support service is charged at an annual rate equal to a percentage, currently 20%, of the license price in effect at the time of renewal.
Please not that Gurobi prices do not include first-year maintenance and support service. The first year of Gurobi maintenance is billed at an additional 20% at the time of purchase.
Beginning one year after purchase, maintenance and support are billed annually.
Thank you Roberto, I hope this might help to clarify our pricing structure and I look forward to any follow up questions that you may have.
Kind regards,
