ProEssentialsJS is licensed differently from the desktop interfaces. Licensing in the Basics chapter covers the per-developer terms that apply to the .NET, ActiveX, VCL and DLL interfaces. This page covers ProEssentialsJS.
Free Under $250,000 In Annual Revenue
ProEssentialsJS is free for commercial use under $250,000 in annual revenue. Redistribution is included. There is no watermark and there are no feature gates: it is the same engine and the same 40 events and 800-plus properties per object that a paying customer gets.
Above That, Every Price Is Published
Every price is published, through to the largest buyer, including the price to ship ProEssentialsJS inside your own product. There is no quote to request and no sales call to book. Every license is perpetual, one time and royalty free, and covers one major version, explained below.
The brackets are your organisation's annual revenue. Relative cost is shown rather than the figures, because this help file is built once per release and a price list is not. Every figure is published at gigasoft.com, through to the largest buyer, with no quote to request.

A License Covers One Major Version
What you license today is ProEssentialsJS v11, and it is yours perpetually. The license does not expire, does not renew and cannot be switched off. Ship v11 for as long as you choose to, whether or not you ever buy from us again. Nothing stops working, because there is nothing to stop: no key, no activation and no phone home.
A future major version is a separate license. When v12 arrives it is a new purchase, and staying on v11 remains a supported choice rather than a lapse. There is no forced upgrade and no version you are timed out of.
The release cadence for major versions is not fixed. See gigasoft.com for what is current.
The same applies under $250,000 in annual revenue: the free license is for the major version you took, on the same perpetual terms.
Nothing To Activate
| No license key |
There is no key to enter, embed or protect. Nothing in your build or your deployment differs between an evaluation and a purchased license. |
| No activation |
Nothing has to be registered before the chart draws. |
| No domain locking |
The files work on any host, including localhost, a staging domain and an intranet with no route to the internet. |
| No phone home |
Nothing contacts Gigasoft at build time or at run time. See Deployment: rendering is client side and chart data never leaves the browser. |
This is why evaluating costs nothing but the download, and why an air-gapped or regulated deployment needs no exception.
Support
Free and unlimited for the life of the version, answered by the people who wrote the engine. See Customer Support.
If You Also Ship A Desktop Application
ProEssentialsJS and the desktop interfaces are separate products on one release train, one engine and one version number. Licensing one does not license the other. If you are building both a desktop application and a browser application, see gigasoft.com for the current combination terms.
