The MultiZone® Security API commercial implementation developed by Hex Five includes MultiZone® Configurator, MultiZone® nanoKernel, and MultiZone® Communications. These components are distributed as part of the MultiZone Security SDK, free of charge for evaluation only. Commercial use is restricted and requires Hex Five commercial license, sometime included with the hardware itself, but never royalties – as we hate them as much as you do!
