Licensing Overview

Developer

• The developer license is for development use only and isn't applicable for commercial use.
  You must upgrade this license before going into production.
• It is fully featured but temporary - license lasts 6 months and can be renewed.
• Certificates exceeding 4 months expiration period are Not allowed to be used with this license.
  Automatic renewal of Let’s Encrypt certificates is disabled.

• When you are ready to go into production:

  • Be sure to choose a license that has all features with which your client was developed.
  • Upgrade to a production license and then replace the developer license.

• The developer license can be obtained here.

Community

• A basic production-grade license.
• Community licenses last one year and can be renewed every year.
• Servers using a Community license are required to run the latest major version.
  E.g., if RavenDB 7.0 is released and your server runs RavenDB 6.2 with a Community license, you will be required to upgrade RavenDB to version 7.0.
  Running a major version older than the latest with a Community license will block your server's access to Studio.

Professional

• A standard production-grade license.
• Extended automatically if the server has access to RavenDB's License Server.

Enterprise

• A high-performance, fully-featured production-grade license.
• Extended automatically if the server has access to RavenDB's License Server.

ISV Licenses

• ISV licenses are commercial licenses that allow you to redistribute RavenDB with your software
  for on-premise installation and use by your customers.
• Available ISV license types are: Essential, Professional, and Enterprise.
• Contact RavenDB for more details.
