Difference between licences

Hi everyone,
If you look at my profile, you can see that I'm a 3D artist. I'm looking foward to buy a game engine licence right now but the thing is that I'm french speaking and sometime, I don't understand everything in english. So my question is; What is the difference between the "TGE Indie Game License" and the "TGE Commercial License"?
I'm working on a VR project that is probably going to be market, so I guess I would have to use the commercial licence, but still, I want to make sure?
Thank you guys

With the indie license, you have to make a game. You must have a commercial license to create VR walkthroughs, and other non-game applications.

No need to be sorry. Just keep us posted on the progress of the project. It's always fun to see non-game applications made with TGE.

Just to make sure everyone is aware, the indie license does require that the project be a game. VR applications and other non-game oriented projects do require a commercial license.

The Torque public forums are the best place for such questions.

And for future reference, the TDN forums are not the best place to ask general Torque questions. :)The Torque public forums are the best place for such questions.

your english seems pretty good,
maybe try giving the license another look ?
you probably want to look especially at uh section 3 - "restrictions", where it says:
so basically, as i understand it,
unless you are licensing the software as part of a company making more than $250K USD, you can use the Indie license. you only need the commercial license if you're a fairly large operation.
