# Getting started - Acquisition

Once you've evaluated AyaNova thoroughly and confirmed it will match your business needs it's time to purchase AyaNova.

## License agreement and terms of service

Be sure to review review our License agreement for Pertual self-installed AyaNova or our Subscription service agreement before purchase.

## Before you purchase

### Self installed Perpetual AyaNova in-house

The purchase process is used to obtain a license to activate the AyaNova server you are already using previously during evaluation.

If you do not have an AyaNova server installed and ready for use in trial evaluation mode or you need to make changes such as installing AyaNova in a different location on a different computer you should do that first, get AyaNova up and running as a trial evaluation first and confirm it's ready before making your purchase.

At the time of purchase you will be required to provide your unique database ID that is generated when you first create a new AyaNova database on your server and can be copied to clipboard from the menu on the Administration -> License page of the AyaNova web application.

### Subscription service

The purchase process is used to obtain a license the activate the AyaNova subscription service you are already using previously during evaluation.

If you do not have a currently active trial evaluation subscription service in use or plan on subscribing to the AyaNova subscription service in a different data center location you should do that first before purchasing a license by requesting a trial / evaluation or contacting support to have that set up for you first.

At the time of purchase you will be required to provide your unique subscription service database ID which can be copied to clipboard from the menu on the Administration -> License page of the AyaNova web application.

## Purchase

AyaNova Perpetual licenses or an AyaNova subscription can be purchased directly from the pricing page on our website using the `Add to Cart` buttons beside the products being purchased.

### What if I have an existing AyaNova 7.x subscription?

Discounts are available for users with an active AyaNova 7 support and updates subscription to switch to AyaNova 8.

Contact our support department when ready to purchase to get a coupon code you can apply against the AyaNova 8 purchase.

The coupon is based on your remaining days in your AyaNova 7 support and updates subscription so it is time limited.

When you use the coupon code your AyaNova 7 support and updates subscription is automatically cancelled however you can continue to use AyaNova 7 as long as you wish but without updates or technical support.

## What do I get when I purchase?

You will receive an email once our payment processing provider has received your payment and we have generated a license key for your server.

Your AyaNova server will automatically retrieve and install the license within 30 minutes once it's available but you can also trigger the process to happen right away using the instructions in the email sent by us.
