We are so confident in RakNet that we feel that you, the user, should be able to pick your price

Choose what to pay based on what you can afford by the value RakNet has brought to your development. If you can only afford the minimum we appreciate that. Paying more helps the development progress for both you and the community. Development funds go towards hiring testers, testing on a wider range of platforms, updating documentation, and paying for a source control sever. If you want to pay the minimum amount now, and would like to offer more after your game ships, we are happy to accept that and add the extra support time as well. At $500 and above the license comes with personalized programming support by the author of RakNet.*

* Standard support is included with all licenses and comes at no additional charge. It includes forum and email support for issues related to bugs, feature requests, and implementation questions.

* Programming support is included with licenses $500 and up. It includes both phone and programming time for your specific features, as well as application specific debugging.

Money back guarantee

If you decide within 90 days that you don't want to use RakNet, for any reason, we will refund your money with no questions asked.
