Detailed breakdown between standalone Valentina Server and Valentina Developer Network.
Valentina Server & Valentina Developer Network Compared
Paradigma Software offers two configurations or products that utilizes the same technology but configured for two distinctly different purposes:
- Valentina Server. A standalone, single deployment product instance of Valentina Server. This is licensed by the end user.
- Valentina Developer Network (or VDN). A license for developers and other ISVs to redistribute OEM instances of Valentina Server to their customers. This is a license for developers for redistribution of components to their end users.
Whichever fits your business case, both are built on the same technology.

Valentina Server is so much more than its individual server components.
- API here refers to either built in or Valentina Client based integration. Along with either license (Valentina Server and VDN), you can use the VCLIENT component in your solution using ANY of these developer platforms.
- Internal Scripting refers to the embedded scripting system(s) that power both Valentina Reports and Valentina Forms.
