CAN Servo Tool — License Terms

Version: 1.0 · Last updated: 14 November 2026

These terms apply to the CAN Servo Tool software, including its installers, updates, documentation and license files (the "Software"), published at https://canservotool.com ("we", "us"). By installing, copying or using the Software you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not install or use the Software.

1. License

The Software is licensed, not sold. A license file is required to connect to any device.

Free license — free of charge, for non-commercial use only, on one computer: two nodes per session, one oscilloscope channel, no upload or download of device configurations and no software (slave) nodes.
Pro and Enterprise licenses — paid licenses for any lawful purpose, including commercial use, with the limits stated in the license file.

A license covers the major version of the Software stated in its license file. You may not copy, resell, rent or redistribute the Software or license files, or circumvent its license checks, except where the law expressly allows it.

2. Safety

The Software can command real machinery: it writes device parameters, switches device states and can enable and move drives. Wrong commands, communication loss or a software defect can cause unexpected motion, damage, injury or death. The Software is not a safety component. Never rely on it as the means of stopping a machine or protecting persons. Use it only with an independent, hard-wired emergency stop, by qualified personnel, after a risk assessment, and test new settings at reduced speed and torque first.

3. No warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

4. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFIT, PRODUCTION OR DATA, OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT ARISING FROM THE SOFTWARE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE LICENSE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE; UNDER THE FREE LICENSE WE HAVE NO LIABILITY. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

5. Payments

Payments are not refunded: a license key cannot be taken back once delivered. When you buy a license you ask for it to be delivered at once and acknowledge that you thereby lose any statutory right to withdraw from a contract for digital content. This does not limit rights that mandatory law gives you.

6. Trademarks

CANopen® and CiA® are registered trademarks of CAN in Automation e.V. Other product names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to identify compatible standards and hardware; no affiliation or endorsement is implied.
