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 Standard Edition is limited to authorized internal company use only; the Professional and Enterprise Editions can be used to develop applications for your own clients or to sell the developed applications to clients.

• If the product you provide to the client does not grant configuration permissions, and the client can only use the product you have developed as is, then only you need to have a commercial license.
• If the product you provide to the client grants configuration permissions, allowing the client to modify and further develop your product using NocoBase's no-code configuration capabilities, then your client also needs to purchase a commercial license.

Commercial plugins are tied to the license, and the scope of use is determined by the type of license. If you have a Professional or Enterprise Edition license, you can use the purchased commercial plugins to develop applications for your clients.

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 Standard edition with 6 months remaining in the upgrade period, and you upgrade to the Professional edition, you need to pay the price difference: 8000-800*(6/12)=7600
