Maintenance Plan

[kingmao]

hi there, just new in atavism, my question, is do we need to buy maintenance plan before we start editing the game, or i just only need the license to run for editing posses in Unity? and also is can i use my Vps to run the game to go online or do you guys provide the server to make game live, so my friend from around the world can play it as well.

Hello and welcome.

Maintenance is only for updates.

Atavism is available as a subscription, something like Netflix, where if you have an active subscription you can use it, and in such case, it doesn't have maintenance at all, you will always have access to the newest version or the second option is the permanent license which has 180 days of free updates included, and you can use your license infinitely, updates are paid and optional, which means you can purchase additional maintenance if you want but you don't have to.

Atavism can be installed anywhere using any method of your choice:

- using the simplest windows manager option, best for local development - https://wiki.atavismonline.com/project/atavism-windows-manager/ 
- using our premade virtual machine (centos or Ubuntu) - https://wiki.atavismonline.com/project/atavism-virtual-machine/
- using Custom Linux installation, for most advanced users, but also handled by newcomers - https://wiki.atavismonline.com/project/installation/
- using cloud solution like Google Clout - https://wiki.atavismonline.com/project/hosting-google-cloud/ or Netcup https://wiki.atavismonline.com/project/hosting-netcup/
