Frequently asked questions

No. The core of NocoBase and open-source plugins are licensed under the AGPL 3.0 license. As long as you comply with the license and retain the copyright information and version information of NocoBase on the interface, you can use it for free.

You need to purchase a commercial license if you have any of the following requirements:

  • You have modified the code of NocoBase or extended your own plugins, but you do not want to open source these outputs under the AGPL license.
  • You integrate NocoBase into your product, but you do not want to open source your own product under the AGPL license.
  • You want to change the copyright and version information about NocoBase in the footer or in the upper right corner of the system to your own brand.
  • You want to obtain advanced security features, such as dynamic access management, audit logs, and automatic backups.
  • You want to obtain advanced development and deployment capabilities, such as multi-application, environment isolation, and distributed architecture.
  • You want to obtain advanced technical support from the NocoBase team.

Of course. Commercial plugins and commercial licenses are independent of each other. Commercial plugins provide advanced features and do not open source. They can be installed on either an open-source or commercial licensed NocoBase.

You have the options to:

  • Only purchase a commercial license to obtain commercial authorization.
  • Only purchase commercial plugins to add more features to the open-source version.
  • Purchase both a commercial license and commercial plugins simultaneously.

There is no expiration date, and no annual payment is required. Once you purchase a commercial license or commercial plugin, you will receive permanent license for the current root version, which can be used permanently.

The commercial license is for one company or organization and can only be used within the licensed company or organization. It cannot be distributed to other companies or organizations. When you use NocoBase to develop applications for your clients, you should purchase a license for your client's company.

You can upgrade from a lower edition to a higher edition, but you cannot downgrade from a higher edition to a lower one. When upgrading, you just have to pay the price difference based on the remaining upgrade period. For example, if you are currently on the Professional edition with 6 months remaining in the upgrade period, and you upgrade to the Enterprise edition, you need to pay the price difference: 16000-8000*(6/12)=12000

You can purchase an additional year of upgrades and technical support at 50% of the current edition's price.

How to purchase

We plan to develop a platform for self-service license and plugin purchases based on NocoBase in the fourth quarter of 2024. Until then, please contact us via email to discuss solutions with our core team and complete your purchase.
