License

Understanding Your License

Botble CMS is distributed under the Envato Standard License or Extended License. It's important to understand what each license allows you to do.

License Types

Regular License vs. Extended License

The license type is based on your site's charging model:

  • Regular License: Suitable if your website does not charge end users for access or services.
  • Extended License: Required if you have paying users who you charge for accessing or using your service (monthly or yearly subscription, commission fee on each sale as SaaS, etc.).

You can start with a regular license and upgrade to an extended license once you have paying users.

TIP

Please read the official license rules here: Envato Standard License

One License, One Website

As per Envato's licensing rules, one license can only be used for one website. This includes:

  • One domain
  • One subdomain
  • One subfolder
  • One IP address

If you want to use Botble CMS for multiple sites or clients, you need to purchase multiple licenses.

Development Environments

You can use Botble CMS without activating a license on development, staging, or UAT environments for development purposes without violating license terms. All features will work fine except:
