Is October CMS Open Source?

Yes, the source is not compiled or encrypted and some the platform source code is publicly available, however, October CMS is not free software. To run an October CMS installation for any reason other than evaluation, you need a license.
Can I evaluate October CMS for free?

Yes, you may request an online demo of October CMS via the Home and Features pages.
Can I use the same Project License for all my websites?

No. Separate websites must have a corresponding license.
If I opt not to renew the Project License, can I still use my website?

Yes. If the license is not renewed, you only lose access to the Update Gateway. The website, including any customisations, can continue to be used forever.
How do you define a Website?

A Website is defined as a single installation of October CMS.
Can a Website have different domains?

Yes. A Website can be hosted on different domains as long as it has the appearance of the same website. For example, the same organization name and branding.
What about test and development environments?

You are permitted to use the same Project License for the live, development and test environments of a website, e.g. example.com, dev.example.com, and staging.example.com. Multiple development environments representing the same website can use the same license.
What else does a Project License give me?

You get access to the Marketplace ecosystem and community forum. A premium support service is also available for professional users.
