AiC's Order Process - n4ce Software Hire

n4ce is available to hire for an agreed period of time, should it be needed for specific projects etc. Hire licences are only issued on a Cloud Licence or Software Licence, not on USB Dongles.

When hiring AiC's n4ce Software, the following process will be adhered to.

If required, a quote can be supplied, detailing the costs of the agreed hire term for the preferred n4ce package. See Also AiC Quotations.

If the Licence Hire quote (verbal or hard copy) is approved, AiC requests the provision of a purchase order number, invoice reference or email of intent to proceed.

Once the Purchase Order, Invoice reference or email of intent to purchase has been received by AiC, a 7-day temporary software licence will be issued for use (if applicable), until full payment has been received for the AiC Hire licence invoice.

Our invoice will be sent by email and will contain the details for payment by BACS. Alternatively, the orange Pay Now button to the bottom right of the invoice can be used, which is a link to process online card payments. Card payments are no longer accepted over the telephone.

Upon receipt of payment, the n4ce software licence will be extended to the full term of the hire. An email will be sent, containing instructions and an attached file which must be used to extend the licence to its full term. The cloud licences are issued for the full hire term from the outset and if payment is not received, access to the cloud licence will be revoked.

Towards the end of the n4ce Hire period, AiC will be in touch to enquire as to whether an extension to the Hire licence is required. If a longer hire period is needed, another AiC invoice will be issued to cover the hire extension period. When AiC receives payment for the invoice, the Hire software licence will once again be extended for the subsequent hire period. The cloud licences will be extended to the next full hire term. If an extension to the Hire licence is not required, the licence will expire and cease to function at the end of the hire period.

In summary:

1. AiC supply Quotation (where applicable)
2. The requester provides an Order Number, Invoice Reference or Email of intent to proceed
3. AiC issues a 7-day temporary software Licence key (if applicable)
4. AiC issues an invoice for payment
5. Once payment is received, the licence extension will be emailed to the licence recipient (Software licence hire only)
6. AiC will contact the Hire requester near the end of the hire term, to check if a further extension is required or whether the licence will be left to expire.
