The short video above gives you a quick overview of how our bulk-purchase system works, including purchasing licenses and distributing keycodes to your students or customers.
Our bulk-purchase process is designed to be straightforward and largely automated. You can see our pricing up front, select the products and quantities you need, and proceed directly through checkout without first having to request a sales quotation by phone or email.
Need a quote for your accounting or purchasing department?
Begin the normal checkout process and select Quote as the payment method where available. This will generate a non-binding quotation that you can pass along internally.
If you represent an established company, school, government organization, or similar institution and are ready to purchase by purchase order, select Invoice at checkout to submit your purchase-order request.
Your confirmation email will include, usually under License or Keycode, a secure link to your fulfillment portal.
Your fulfillment portal lets you:
View the activation keycodes you purchased.
See how many codes have been used and how many remain available.
Send a keycode directly to a student or customer by entering their email address and, optionally, their name.
Automatically send the recipient a welcome message containing their keycode together with download and activation instructions.
View qualifying orders placed using the same purchasing email address in one place.
Organize or assign keycodes by campus, instructor, department, or other grouping.
Purchase additional codes when you need them.
The fulfillment portal is intended to make bulk licensing easy to manage.
You can purchase a pool of licenses and distribute them as your students or customers need them, rather than having to process a separate retail purchase for every individual user.
Our bulk-purchase system is highly automated, allowing us to offer competitive quantity pricing without requiring individual price negotiations for ordinary orders.
On the Bulk Purchase Page, look for the pricing matrix buttons to see how quantity discounts apply. Discounts are normally calculated per line item, rather than according to the total number of unrelated products in the shopping cart.
The checkout screen will always show you the final price before you place the order.
For most payment methods, fulfillment takes place as soon as payment has been successfully processed. For example, a credit- or debit-card order can generally be fulfilled immediately.
For purchase-order requests, fulfillment normally occurs after we manually review and accept the request. We generally try to do this within 24 hours. In many cases, approved organizations receive their licenses before payment is received, although we reserve the right to require payment before fulfillment where appropriate.
Bulk orders are non-refundable. Please purchase quantities that you reasonably expect to use.
Larger organizations, typically those with several hundred students or more per year using our products, may qualify for customized no-minimum-quantity preferred pricing. This is arranged on a case-by-case basis and can allow an organization to purchase codes dynamically as they are needed.
If you believe you have received a genuinely comparable lower offer from another provider, you are welcome to contact us before purchasing and we will be happy to review it.
Apple and Google provide organizational tools that can make it straightforward for schools, businesses, and other organizations to purchase and distribute our apps to iOS, Mac, and Android users.
Where the stores support it, we also designate our apps for the maximum educational discount available through their programs.
With the exception of Safelog subscriptions, which are discussed separately below, iOS, Mac, and Android apps are purchased through Apple or Google rather than directly from Dauntless.
If your organization wants to purchase apps for multiple users:
Businesses, schools, and other organizations can generally purchase and distribute our iOS, Mac, and Android apps using Apple's or Google's organizational purchasing systems.
This is different from our Microsoft Windows PC software, which can be purchased directly from us through our Bulk Purchase Page.
Your organization will need an appropriate organizational account with Apple and/or Google. Many schools and companies already have this set up, so it is worth checking with your IT department, purchasing department, or administrator first.
If your organization is not yet set up, the following are useful starting points:
iPhone, iPad, and Mac: search for "Apple IT Zero Touch Deployment" and Apple's current organizational deployment and purchasing options.
Android: search for "Managed Google Play".
Once your organization is configured, you can locate our apps through the appropriate Apple or Google system and distribute them to your students, pilots, employees, or customers.
Apple and Google handle these transactions directly.
Dauntless does not control the organizational purchasing process, eligibility requirements, pricing rules, account setup, or distribution mechanisms within their systems.
Organizations that have these systems properly configured generally tell us that distribution is straightforward once the initial setup is complete.
What about Safelog?
Safelog works somewhat differently. We can sell Safelog subscriptions directly in bulk. Your pilots or other users can then use those subscriptions with the free Safelog apps available for iOS, Mac, Android, and other supported platforms.
Please visit our Bulk Purchase Page for Safelog bulk-subscription information and pricing.
What if my organization cannot obtain an Apple or Google organizational account?
Apple and Google have made organizational deployment considerably more accessible over time, so it is worth investigating their current options carefully, even if you represent a relatively small organization.
If you have confirmed that an organizational account is not practical for you, there are still several possibilities:
Individual purchases: Students or other users can purchase our apps themselves through their own Apple App Store or Google Play accounts. You can direct them to our website, where they can find links to the appropriate official app-store versions.
Customized school or company portal: If you regularly send students or customers to our products, we may be able to create a customized portal for your organization that can integrate naturally with your own website and branding.
We have done this for numerous schools and companies, and there is normally very little work required on your side. We do not charge for setting this up. Please contact us if you are interested.
Apple gifting: For a moderate number of users, Apple's app-gifting options may also be useful. You can read Apple's information about gifting apps here. If that page changes, search for "gifting an Apple App Store app."
Google Play gifting: Google does not always provide the same straightforward gifting process as Apple. Searching for "Google Play gift an app" may provide current options and third-party guidance.
In short:
For Windows PC software, purchase bulk licenses directly from Dauntless.
For most iOS, Mac, and Android apps, use Apple's or Google's organizational purchasing systems.
For Safelog subscriptions, we can sell bulk subscriptions directly to your organization.
If your organization needs another arrangement, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss the practical options.
Dauntless does not mediate returns between bulk purchasers and their students or customers.
Your fulfillment portal lets you check whether a keycode has already been registered to an individual.
If a keycode has already been registered, you should not accept it as a return for reassignment.
Once registered, the license is permanently associated with that individual and cannot simply be transferred to another person.
If a keycode has not yet been registered, you may, at your discretion, accept it back, refund your customer if appropriate, and later issue that unused code to somebody else. Naturally, the original recipient should understand that they must no longer use the returned code.
Individual licenses are intended for one person and may not be deliberately shared between users. Where intentional license abuse occurs, we reserve the right to cancel affected licenses or take other appropriate action. Honest mistakes are different, of course, and we are always happy to clarify licensing questions.
Dauntless provides technical support through our online helpdesk, which includes FAQs, self-help tools, automated guidance, and access to our support and subject-matter staff.
If a student or customer to whom you supplied a keycode needs help installing or activating the software, please direct them to our Unlock Help Wizard and online helpdesk.
The main exception is an issue involving your own sale to the customer. For example, a customer might purchase a Windows license from you and then discover that they do not own a Windows PC.
In such cases, use your fulfillment portal to determine whether the keycode has been registered. If it remains unused, you may handle any refund, exchange, or replacement according to your own policies.
We strongly encourage both bulk purchasers and end users to try before they buy whenever a demo is available. Most of our Windows products can be downloaded and tried before purchase, allowing users to confirm compatibility and make sure the product suits their needs.
The demo versions contain enough material to give users a meaningful feel for the software, and the same installation can generally be converted into the full version simply by entering a valid keycode.
