Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Community Edition in production?

Yes, but you're limited to single-node deployments and won't have access to enterprise features like sharding, GPU acceleration, or advanced security.

What happens if my license expires?

Enterprise modules will stop loading after a 14-day grace period. Core functionality (Community Edition features) continues to work.

Can I mix editions (e.g., Community + select enterprise modules)?

Yes, with Enterprise/Hyperscaler licenses you can selectively enable only the modules you need.

Do I need a license for development/testing?

No, Community Edition is free for all use cases. Enterprise trial licenses are available for 30 days.

Is the source code for enterprise modules available?

Enterprise modules are distributed as compiled DLLs/SOs. Source code access is available under NDA for Enterprise and Hyperscaler customers.

Can I downgrade from Enterprise to Community?

Yes, simply remove the license file and enterprise DLLs. Your data remains intact but advanced features become unavailable.
