Can I use these in client projects?​

  • Perpetual: Continues working, no updates
  • Grace period: 30 days to renew

Can I modify the source code?​

Yes, for internal use. Redistribution of modifications is not permitted.

How many machines can I use?​

Licenses are per-developer, not per-machine. Install on all your development machines.

What about CI/CD servers?​

CI/CD usage is included. No additional licenses needed for automated systems.

Can I get a trial extension?​
