The user/club that already registered a full version for one operative system can register for a different operative system at half price (this option does not apply to the educational version).

Vega+VegaTeam for Windows and MacOS X can be freely used for tournaments up to 20 players. Orion can be freely used for tournaments up to 6 teams.

The Linux version ha no limitations in number of rounds or players and is free (it has disabled the ftp connection and Vegaresults publication) and can be used as it is (no license is required). It is free to allow passionate chess players around the world and in financial difficulty to run chess events with an endorsed FIDE program. Moreover Vega born under Linux thanks to many freeware tools. If you use the linux to run chess tournaments for a different reason then consider to request a paid license to support ongoing development costs. The Linux version CANNOT be used under an emulator running in Windows/MacOS.

The casual arbiter or teacher that needs to arbiter only scholastic or amateur tournaments without rating variation can ask the Educational license at half price. The Educational licenze does NOT allow rating reports to FIDE or any other Federation, but only a generic rating report.
