wyUpdate License Question

I saw the wyUpdate and i saw its available to buy for $85. But theres also the source code available for download. So i dont understand. If i want to use it in my program do i have to buy it? Or can i simply download the source code and change whatever (Not much but simple stuffs) and compile and use it in my program without paying for it?

There are 3 parts to wyBuild:

  • wyBuild itself: This part is not open source. You use wyBuild to manage and build your update patches. This is what you're buying when you purchase a license.
  • wyUpdate: This is the updater you include with your app. This is completely open source.
  • the AutomaticUpdater: this is an optional component you can include with your app. This is also open source.

So if you don't mind manually building your update patches, then by all means just use wyUpdate and the AutomaticUpdater. But trust me, you don't want to build the update by hand.

Use wyBuild to simplify everything.

Does that make sense?

Wow...Thanks for the quick reply. Now it all makes sense. Thank you very much Wyatt. My suggestion would be include the above information on the download page or anywhere on wyUpdate page since the Open Source/Buy Now might be confusing for some users.

Keep up the great work mate. 🙂
