Windows 11 ARM64 (native) — secondary target
Drop: Windows 10 (all editions), Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Vista, all Server editions prior to 2022, and all 32-bit (x86) builds
If excluding Win10 / x86 / older Server SKUs reduces driver-signing, WHQL attestation, or QA cost, please reflect that discount explicitly in the quote.

2. Full Source Code License:

Complete source for the printer driver, port monitor, language monitor, user-mode components, and any helper services
License must permit in-house modification, recompilation, and redistribution of derivative binaries
Include build scripts, signing instructions, and documentation
Please confirm what is NOT included (e.g., third-party components) and any licensing implications

3. Full Rebranding Rights:

Rename the printer device, driver, INF/CAT files, registry keys, services, installer, and all UI strings to our product name
Replace icons, splash, and any visible VeryPDF branding end-to-end
Permission to obtain and use our own EV code-signing certificate for WHQL submission under our publisher name

4. Output Capability Required:

PDF output (primary), with EMF/raster fallback
Programmatic control via COM or command-line interface from C#/.NET and C++

5. Distribution Model:

Royalty-free redistribution as part of our application's installer
One-time fee preferred; please flag any per-developer-seat or per-server fees

Please provide in your quote:

One-time license fee (USD) for the above configuration
Estimated delivery time (calendar days/weeks) from purchase order to source delivery
Any incremental NRE/customization charges for the x64+ARM64-only narrowing
One-Year Gold Support pricing (I see $1,200/year listed — confirm applicability)
Payment terms and accepted methods
Sample MSA / EULA / Source Code License agreement for legal review
Whether WHQL-signed x64 and ARM64 binaries are included or are our responsibility

Timeline: I'd like to make a purchasing decision within 30 days. Happy to jump on a call to clarify scope.

Thank you,
Customer

2. VeryPDF Technical and Commercial Response

After reviewing the requirements, VeryPDF provided a structured response addressing licensing, supported SDK options, delivery expectations, and customization considerations.

The response also clarified that while the requested narrowing of operating systems (Windows 11 only, including ARM64) is feasible, it may introduce additional engineering and validation steps depending on driver signing, build pipeline configuration, and ARM64-native compatibility requirements.

Official Response from VeryPDF Sales Team

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your detailed inquiry and for outlining your requirements so clearly. We appreciate the opportunity to support your evaluation.

Based on your requested scope, we recommend the following two SDK options that align with your functional requirements:

2.1 Recommended SDK Options

Option 1: PostScript-Based Virtual Printer SDK

PDF Virtual Printer SDK Based on Postscript Printer Driver for Developer (Royalty-Free)
Price is one-time fee

This version is suitable for environments where PostScript-based rendering pipelines are acceptable and where compatibility with traditional print workflows is desired.

You may download the trial version and purchase directly from:
https://veryutils.com/pdf-virtual-printer

Option 2: EMF-Based Virtual Printer SDK (Recommended for Modern Integration)

EMF/PDF/Image Virtual Printer Driver SDK for Developer (Royalty-Free)
Price is one-time fee

This version is more modern and flexible, supporting EMF intermediate rendering and direct conversion workflows. It is typically recommended for .NET-based enterprise applications and automation scenarios.

You may download the trial version and purchase directly from:
https://veryutils.com/emf-pdf-image-virtual-printer-driver-sdk

Both SDKs support Windows systems from Windows 7 through Windows 11, including both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, as well as Windows Server environments.

However, in your case, since the requirement is strictly Windows 11 x64 and ARM64, we confirm that a narrowed build scope can be evaluated separately to potentially reduce signing complexity and QA cost.

2.2 Full Source Code License

The full source code license is available for both SDK options at:

The price is a one-time fee; please contact us for a quote.

This includes:

Printer driver source code
Port monitor and language monitor modules
User-mode components and helper services
Build scripts and compilation instructions
Technical documentation for integration and deployment

You are permitted to modify, recompile, and redistribute derivative binaries within your commercial application.

Please note that certain third-party components (such as PostScript interpreters or optional rendering engines, if used in specific configurations) may have independent licensing considerations. These dependencies will be clearly documented in the delivery package where applicable.

2.3 Rebranding and OEM Rights

Full rebranding is supported without restrictions.

You may:

Rename printer device names
Modify driver INF/CAT file identities
Replace registry keys, services, and installer branding
Fully customize UI strings, icons, and splash screens
Remove all visible references to VeryPDF branding

Additionally, you may use your own EV code-signing certificate for driver signing and WHQL submission under your own publisher identity.

2.4 Output Capabilities and Integration Methods

The EMF/PDF/Image Virtual Printer SDK provides:

PDF output (primary format)
EMF output for intermediate processing
Raster image output (fallback mode)

It supports programmatic control through:

COM interface
Command-line interface

This allows seamless integration with:

C# and .NET desktop applications
C++ native applications
Automated print pipelines and server-side workflows

2.5 Distribution and Licensing Model

All SDK licenses are fully royalty-free.

This means:

No per-copy royalties
No per-user runtime fees
No per-server licensing restrictions (unless otherwise specified in enterprise agreements)

The SDK can be bundled directly into your commercial installer and redistributed globally.

2.6 Delivery Timeline

After purchase confirmation:

SDK delivery time: 24–48 hours
Source code delivery (if licensed): included within the same timeframe

For customized builds (such as Windows 11-only, ARM64-native driver compilation, or reduced legacy support), additional time may be required depending on validation and signing workflow adjustments.

2.7 Support and Maintenance

Optional support is available:

One-Year Gold Support: USD 1,200 per year

This includes:

Priority technical support
Bug fixes and updates
Driver compatibility assistance
Guidance for WHQL submission and signing workflows

2.8 Important Notes on Custom Scope

VeryPDF highlighted several important engineering considerations:

Reducing OS support (Windows 10, legacy Server versions, and x86 removal) may simplify build and QA pipelines, but the actual cost reduction depends on driver signing and testing complexity
ARM64-native driver support may require additional validation cycles depending on Windows driver model constraints and Microsoft WHQL requirements
Final WHQL signing and EV certificate usage is typically managed by the customer, although guidance is provided throughout the process

For highly customized builds, including ARM64-only optimization, internal architecture modification, or deep driver-level changes, customers are encouraged to contact VeryPDF directly for a tailored engineering discussion.

2.9 Payment Terms and Legal Documentation

Payment methods supported include:

Credit card
Bank transfer

Additional legal documents available upon request:

Master Service Agreement (MSA)
End User License Agreement (EULA)
Source Code License Agreement

These documents are provided for internal legal and procurement review prior to purchase confirmation.

3. Final Summary

This evaluation demonstrates a typical enterprise-level licensing discussion for the VeryPDF Virtual Printer Driver SDK, where the customer is optimizing for:

Reduced operating system scope
Lower driver signing overhead
Full source code ownership
OEM rebranding rights
Modern .NET and C++ integration support
Royalty-free redistribution

VeryPDF confirmed that these requirements are achievable within its OEM SDK licensing framework, while also noting that ARM64-native builds and strict OS narrowing may introduce additional engineering considerations depending on final deployment architecture.
